Stolen Childhood: The truth about Norway's child welfare system by Steven Bennett

This book is for anyone who is concerned about the violation of children’s rights. Featuring commentary from prominent Norwegian lawyers, psychologists, medical professionals and teachers, the practices revealed in these pages will shock you to the core. Stolen Childhood tells the terrifying stories of families who have had their children removed by Norway’s child welfare service (NCWS). The book shines a light on the questionable motives behind the emergency takeovers that are destroying so many lives, which often lead to abuse, relationship breakdown, addiction and even suicide. It explores the ideology that has given NCWS such power and the cultural conditions that enable it to act without accountability. Join the thousands of people around the world who are standing up against this hidden scandal. It’s time to tell NCWS that enough is enough, to demand that our children be set free. “An important book that proves there is a case for Norway to answer.” Preben Kløvfjell, lawyer “We need to remove the blinkers and stop needlessly putting families through terrifying trials that lead to disastrous consequences for children and their families.” Berit Aarset, nurse and leader of Human Rights Alert – Norway“Well researched, intensive and alarming.” Dr. Chris Prunean
