“He fall asleep in my arms..” – Nadia July 28, 2016
“They have taken everything from me. I hope things work out soon.” – Nadia (July 28, 2016)
It has been a week since the last Update. Nadia had two more visitations this week, on Thursday and Friday. She is now back in Brandal and will make the trip to see her son again next Thursday and Friday in Bergen. Nadia waits until Monday, August 8th to see if the CPS will let her have Caspian until the very important hearing on August 25th.
As mentioned in earlier reports, a decision about Caspian’s custody will be made on August 25th.
Nadia received more visitation reports this week. The first is titled:
“Interaction between mother and Caspian”
Friday, July 22nd, 2016
“Good and calm mood preferentially entire assemblage. Mom had her eyes on the child throughout the assemblage. The child seemed comfortably round toys and mother, and was curious to everything around them. He looked even be tired towards the end of companionship and mother were good to notice this. She took him up in his arms, gave him the pacifier and rocked him while she spoke softly to him.”
Thursday, July 28th, 2016
“Quiet gathering with much interaction between mother and child. My mother was good at and accompany the child and had his eyes constantly. She introduced more toys for your child by being together and spent some of the time without playing, when she spoke to him while she stroked him on the stomach and back, and walked with his arms. The child seemed a little tired by being together. He smiled a lot when the mother tickled him his stomach. He looked at toys and mother, when the Games were moved by the mother and when she sang for him. They had several brief eye contact.”
Nadia’s Mother-in-Law was allowed to see Caspian during the visit on Friday. Caspian’s Grandma has only seen him one other time, at the hospital when he was born. She was allowed to be in the visitation for one hour and had tears in her eyes as she left.
Nadia’s comments after Friday’s visit (7/30/16):
“They took the finest and most precious I had. I carried him for 9 months in my belly, I loved him from the first moment I heard his heart .. Now I’m here again with the best observations .. Caspian had it good with me and his family who loves him. I hope this works out soon ..”
Nadia also made this comment:
“I haven’t got him baptized even.”
Caspian will be eight months old Monday. His life has been dominated by decisions made by Norway’s Barnevernet.
Since the second day of his life, Caspian and his mother have been under scrutiny (observation) or apart 80% of the time.
Nadia and Caspian Visitation July 29, 2016
——————————————————–
My thoughts:
The reasons Caspian was taken from Nadia continue to bewilder, but she has been allowed two visits each week now for several weeks. Not all parents of children taken in Norway get two visits each week, so one hopes this is an indication that Nadia’s case has been and is being viewed favorably.
Nadia and Caspian have had three different observers for their visitations. All of the reports seem to agree that the visitations are very positive. This is an indication of Nadia’s consistency during the visits.
This week, a CPS worker in Bergen made a few comments on this blog regarding Maria’s case. Knut Nyguaard, a CPS caseworker has commented here and on other sites about cases like Nadia’s. He didn’t answer several questions I had that I thought were relevant to Nadia’s case. Mr. Nygaard did make this statement:
“I should be closer to understand how Norway, Norwegians and the CPS as a whole works than you up in the Springs, Chris.”
I agree with Knut here. He should understand the CPS system much better than I.
Why, then, doesn’t he answer simple questions? I have asked him many simple questions here and on another forum (Delight in Truth’s Blog) and I haven’t gotten answers. I have asked to see copies of training materials used in the Mother’s homes (Parent and Child Centers). This is only one request among many questions that have been ignored.
Not only is it difficult to get information from this CPS worker, I have observed unbalanced reports in the media, and gotten almost no answers from political parties in Norway.
I did get one reply from the Høyre political party back on June 8th. This is somewhat significant because the Hoyre party is the party of Prime minister Erna Solberg.
The reply:
“Hello again! The child-welfare act is a system with a need of improvement. It is a system that allows the most vulnerable children to be tossed around between various, seemingly difficult situations. In some cases childrens rights have not been properly protected, the childrens act law has been violated along with multiple limit violations on the child-welfare act, and proper cooperation between the ministry and subordinate agencies is lacking. Our new government is currently working on a reform that will provide better and more customized services. For further inquiries, we strongly advise that you take direct contact with the Ministry of Children and Equality.”
Thus, there is an acknowledgement of problems within the child-welfare system in Norway by a political party that holds powerful positions. The reply mentions: “Our new government is currently working on a reform that will provide better and more customized services.” At this point, I’m not aware of any successful reform that has taken place in Norway’s CPS.
The topic of Freemasonry is mentioned in so many places today, including many videos on YouTube where it is often connected with Satanism. Walter Martin connects freemason sources with occultist symbols and fallacious beliefs in this interview with a former freemason.
Walter Martin died in June of 1989. He is still well known for his understanding of Christian theology.
In this discussion, Walter Martin talks with a former Christian freemason who admits that he did not know of certain freemason doctrines. Walter Martin did not think that Christians should be freemasons. The former freemason in this interview is very honest as Walter asks questions. Even though this interview is a bit old, I think it gives a good view of some Masonic views.
This interview is one good source to help show Christians that masonry should be avoided. Christians should not join themselves to freemasonry.
It has been over 40 days since Baby Caspian was abducted by Norway’s Barnevernet without any apparent legal reason. On that day, Monday, June 13th, Caspian was awakened from his nap and taken away from loved ones while his mother Nadia was away at an infrequent appointment. Several police officers and Barnevernet personnel came to the home of Margaret Hennum and took Caspian. He had been sleeping soundly under the care Ms. Hennum, a pediatric nurse and Nadia’s friend.
Nadia’s next trial (rettsak) will be on Monday, August 8th. The case will be heard in Alesund, Norway. Apparently, Ms. Hennum and Doctor Ingvild Setså will be witnesses at this hearing.
Nadia has been allowed to travel to Bergen to visit Caspian. She sees him on Thursdays and Fridays and has not missed a scheduled visitation thus far. From her address near Brandal, Norway, it is a 40 minute trip by car to the airport. Nadia then takes an hour long plane trip and a 40 minute bus ride to see Caspian. This has been Nadia’s routine the past three weeks and will continue for at least two more weeks. The travel expenses and the housing costs have been paid for by the Barnevernet.
Nadia and Caspian’s visitations are monitored by people from the Church City Mission. These monitors are contracted by the Barnevernet to make evaluations of visitations. There is apparently no security at these visitations as no police have been present for the first six visitations.
Here are the evaluations that Nadia received for her first four visits with Caspian:
Thursday, July 7, 2016
Evaluation:
“Nice interaction between mother and child with calm mood. They were close together and the mother was engaged with the boy all the time. She spoke with quiet tone. Mother seems in good spirits. The child seemed to be active, engaged with everything around them and smiled a lot,”
Friday, July 8, 2016
Evaluation:
“A quiet and nice gathering. Mother plays with the baby and talked to him in a gentle tone . She follows Caspian and his initiative . Mother appeals to Caspian several times and says we’ve enjoyed today.”
Thursday, July 14, 2016
Evaluation:
“Nice interaction between mother and child with calm mood. They were close together and the mother was engaged with the boy all the time. Mother seems in good spirits . The child seems a little tired from the early moments, but was active and involved with everything around it.”
Friday, July 15, 2016
Evaluation:
“Mother has powered Caspian throughout assemblage. Has only eyes for him. Mother speaks with calm and gentle voice. Showing good face. Assemblage is much influenced by activity. After a supervisor ‘s assessment, an assemblage that something hectic as it is the mother who takes the initiative and constantly introduce new toys. Supervisor experience that Caspian seems tired after one hour visitation. Caspian showed signs of penetrating break on occasion without this being accommodated by mother.”
The Wings of the Wind is not aware of any public statement made by any source responsible for the separation of this child from this mother.
Nadia waits until Monday the 8th of August to find out if she will have custody of Caspian until thursday, August 25th.
The hearing on August 25th will be in Bergen at the County Council for Child Welfare and Social Affairs (Fylkesnemnda).
The court hearing on Monday the 25th will determine who has permanent custody of Caspian.
——————————
My thoughts…
How the case ever began is still a mystery to me. I see no reason why, with the abundance of evidence on Nadia’s side, Caspian should have been taken in the first place.
This case has all of the appearances of an upcoming reunification between Nadia and Caspian.
The charges are unmerited. Nadia has done everything that has been asked of her. In spite of a very emotional situation, she has remained steady throughout her visitations. Her visitations with Caspian appear to be going very well.
I am not certain what some of the terminology in the fourth evaluation means but I hope this will be clearer as I learn more. Maybe there is something lost in translation or maybe there are parts in the fourth visitation evaluation are not complimentary. It is hard to tell.
I’ve learned that language has to be carefully looked at when dealing with the Barnevernet. The word “assemblage” is used. In English, the definition of assemblage is: “a collection or gathering of things or people.” The word is used twice. What does this mean: “After a supervisor ‘s assessment, an assemblage that something hectic as it is the mother who takes the initiative and constantly introduce new toys.” There is “calm” and “gentle” and then there is “hectic” and “constantly.” They seem incongruous. Then there is the last sentence: “Caspian showed signs of penetrating break on occasion without this being accommodated by mother.” What does this mean? Is it a good or bad thing? Am I being too picky here? Maybe, but a child has been taken for no good reason for heaven’s sake.
Will testimony from good witnesses be allowed in the next hearing unlike the hearing that took place on Monday, June 27th, in Molde Norway? Fourteen days after Caspian’s abduction, a decision to continue to keep Caspian and Nadia separated was made by one man called “The Tribunal.” “The report of a doctor; and the eyewitness account of the professional nurse, Margaret Hennum was not admissible evidence,” according to Mr. Harald Grape, Nadia’s attorney.
Ingvild Setså (A doctor approved by the Barnevernet) had checked Caspian’s health the day after he was taken from the Hennum home and his mother, Nadia. The doctor found Caspian to be in good health after being away from Vilde (“the Mothers’ Home” or “Parent Center”), enough to write some type of “medical certificate.” “The medical certificate dated 14 June, 2016 from Dr. Setså mentioned that “Caspian provide(s) very good contact, smiles and is very active, good general condition. He was a healthy and active boy who provide(s) very good contact.” This was a statement that was given by Harald Grape, Nadia’s lawyer.
Margaret Hennum, the pediatric nurse who has taken Nadia into her own home noted her observations of Caspian’s development. They were all positive.
A mother has been deprived of most of 40 very important days in a child’s development. A government supported childcare organization is responsible for what would be called a kidnapping had it been done by “criminals.” This is not the first time the Barnevernet of Norway has done something this unjust. Situations like this are increasing rather than decreasing in Norway.
Nadia’s case is about a mother who loves her child very much and has done nothing to warrant having her child taken from her. She has been informed of visitations with little notice and then has to wait for what seems like ages for important court hearings. The next hearing is about whether or not Nadia gets to have custody of Caspian until the next hearing. Then the next hearing IS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT SHE WILL GET CUSTODY OF HIM…PERIOD.
We had our two-hour visitation today with our precious little princess It was again a wonderful meeting and we loved seeing her again. She seems to recognize us and was happy, very talkative and started playing with her mummy shortly after we arrived. We brought soap-bubbles she could play with, and she really thought this was funny. She wanted to put the bubbles into daddy and mommy’s mouth, laughing a lot We also brought a book with photos of us and her she can bring to the foster parents. It was really heartbreaking when Aria took the book, pointed at a picture of Vibeke and said “mummy”. She seemed quite independent of her confidence-person, and was not in need of any particular support from her.
Actually when the visitation was terminated after two hours, she started crying.
And we doubt anyone can understand and really comprehend how devastating it is to see your own daughter cry and not being allowed to comfort her because the visitation has finished.
We as Arias one and only parents are sure that she also knows there is a special bond between us, she can feel and sense it.
Her temper is much like her father-fearless, active, but her strong headedness she gets from both her parents Even not barnevernet can erase biology, and Aria can feel the connection. So do not make any mistakes-she is OUR daughter and she belongs in OUR family, not in a foster family. Now and forever!
Before the visitation, Barnevernet and the police made a huge mistake and the visitation almost cancelled.
The scheduled visitation was cancelled, but first after we actually showed up at the location.
There we were met by the leader of Lørenskog Barnevern Arnfinn Heimstad who explained it and made some excuses. Suddenly he was not afraid of Arias father any more, very strange we must add.
We had off course been looking forward to the visitation and hardly slept anything the night before.
When we got back home, Barnevernet made a phone call to us where they re-scheduled the visitation to later the same day. Because the police did not have the time, they hired private security-guards and even paid for our taxi-expenses.
So for the first time they actually cleaned up their own mess, which was a first positive experience.
And so to finish it off, Mette Lisbet Haugen, the hired contractor, praised us many times after the visitation.
And also Aria many times during the visitation, so today we are not only full of love towards our dear baby Aria as parents, but also proud parents… BUT TO BE CLEAR on that WE ARE PROUD parents of ARIA every second and every day, SHE is the result of our love and now and forever will she be the love of our life. ———————————————-
Anyone who has been following this story will have mixed emotions when reading about this visitation. This beautiful little girl only gets to see her parents two hours 3 or 4 times a year. This family was never given a chance to start life together as Baby Aria was taken from her parents in the first days of her life. The charges made by the Norwegian authorities against these parents are a mix of outrageous and mysterious. There is no good reason that Aria is in foster care. As the numbers of children removed from Norwegian parents are reported to be increasing each year, more families find themselves in the same situation as Ken and Vibeke.

“…and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, ‘The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.’” – Romans 11:26
So why is a large part of Israel not Christian at the posting of this brief article?
The answer is written in the verse that precedes the verse above. Romans 11:25 states:
“For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in”
Darrell Mansfield tells the Jews that “Your King is this Man from Galilee” in this song.
I enjoyed Darrell’s walk through the streets of Jerusalem in this 30 year old music video.
Darrell Mansfield was once a young man in search of meaning in life. His search ended at the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ after some difficult times in his youth. This early music video was Filmed on location in Jerusalem, September 1986.
I agree with Dr. J. Vernon McGee that these verses are talking about literal Jews (Israelites). I also agree on his commentary involving these verses:
I am watching the tiny little country of Israel become more isolated from the rest of the world. Many former friends have and are leaving them. I will always be a friend to the nation of Israel because of an everlasting covenant that God make with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I believe that the Bible teaches that God will eventually intervene on their behalf. How He does that remains to be seen. One thing I am not concerned about is the destruction of the Israelites. It will not happen.
It is almost a week since an update appeared here. There are a few events worth noting that have happened since then.
Nadia was allowed to see Caspian last Thursday and Friday.
According to an accurate source, Nadia thought that the visitations went very well. Caspian remembered Nadia on the first visit. Nadia was concerned before the visit that Caspian might not remember her very well.
Nadia has also been given visitations for every Thursday and Friday until her next court hearing.
A new date has been added to Nadia’s court schedule.
Nadia’s lawyer has sent her a text message. Apparently, a court hearing at an undisclosed location will be held on the 8th of August. This hearing will determine whether or not Caspian will be allowed to go home with Nadia until the permanent care order case is heard on August 25th.
The August 25th hearing will be heard in Bergen.
—————————
My thoughts:
Tomorrow, it will be a month since Caspian was kidnapped from his mother by the organization that is responsible for the proper care of abused children in Norway.
There has been no abuse of this child in this case. This is why the term “kidnapping” fits the situation in its current condition.
I have looked up the word “kidnap” in the dictionary. Here is a general definition that seems to summarize definitions of the word that I have read from dictionaries, Federal law, and International law.
“In criminal law, kidnapping is the unlawful taking away or transportation of a person against that person’s will, usually to hold the person unlawfully. This may be done for ransom or in furtherance of another crime, or in connection with a child custody dispute.”
In this case, Caspian’s legal guardian, Nadia, did not wish for her child to be taken. As there is no valid reason yet given for Caspian to be taken away from his mother, Caspian has been kidnapped.
Caspian has not yet been “stolen” from his mother as this would have to be the new term used if Nadia’s child is taken away permanently. If Nadia has done anything wrong, maybe a reprimand of some type or counseling sessions might be necessary. However,
ACCORDING TO THE DEFINITION OF “KIDNAP” ABOVE, IT IS A CRIMINAL ACT TO “TAKE AWAY” CASPIAN FROM NADIA FOR THE REASONS GIVEN IN THIS CASE.
Also, note that this publication is not aware of any public statement made on this case by the Barnevernet, the organization responsible for this kidnapping which happened almost a month ago.
In a democracy, one is innocent until proven guilty. If this case had any merit, the penalty would be far less in any civilized society.
So…Nadia waits until Thursday to see Caspian. She will then have to wait until August 8th to find out if Caspian can stay with her until the important court hearing on August 25th. It seems that the August 25th hearing will determine Caspian’s future.
Most would agree that the two definitions listed here fit the general idea of the term:
1) forced out of its natural or proper shape; crumpled. synonyms: perverted, warped, deviant, depraved, corrupt, abnormal, unhealthy, aberrant, distorted, corrupted, debauched, debased, disturbed
2) (of a personality or a way of thinking) unpleasantly or unhealthily abnormal; warped.
A somewhat “twisted” catalog arrived in the mail today. It wasn’t a catalog making available a number of twisted things that are popular in our secular world today.
It was a 60+ page catalog filled with popular books available at reasonable prices. “Why was it twisted?” you might ask. Sadly, it was twisted because it had the term “Christian” at the top of it.
Looking through the catalog, one finds popular names in the “Christian” world. Some names are well known because of television appearances, others because their teachings are followed by many. A “Christian” catalog that is filled with writings by authors that teach unchristian ideas is…twisted.
This is a three hour documentary. The recommendation is to watch the first few minutes. If you are curious about how Biblical Christians understand the truth, you may want to watch more. The points made throughout this documentary contrast Christian beliefs with “new ideas” (really not that new) that the “church” is evolving. Many who believe in this “evolution” call themselves “emerging” or “emergent”.
The catalog received in the mail includes for sale books by more than one teacher with “new” ideas. Books like these can be found in almost every Christian bookstore.
The purpose of this post is to educate Christians who may not be aware of false teachers who are active and numerous in our day. Those who take the name “emerging” or “emergent” usually see something wrong with historical Christianity and do not preach the simple gospel message found in the Bible.
Our world is full of twisted things. To some, good is seen as evil and to some evil is seen as good.
This blog has recently been focused on an organization that twists words to suit its cruel purposes.
This blog has also had a theme about the results of turning away from Godly principles.
This question has been asked more than one time here: “How can God bless a nation that has turned its back on Him?”
Recently, this blog has broadened this question to ask, “How can God bless a world that has turned its back on Him?
These are questions that every person should consider.
Some of the emergents make good points about the lack of sincerity in certain “brands” of Christianity. Some of the questions they have are good, but they don’t seem to have good answers. These “teachers” only create more questions than answers.
The true church of Jesus Christ faces many challenges in today’s world. This is no surprise to the Christian as there are many verses in the Bible that “speak” about difficulties Christians will confront at times.
If you are not a Christian, but you like words and the meanings of words and you enjoy learning about different philosophies, this documentary may interest you.
If you are a Christian, you should be familiar with this subject as it or many things like it are popping up in the strangest places. One example is the catalog that many Christians receive on a regular basis. It is a catalog featuring many books with twisted ideas.
JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO (at approximately 10:30 am Norway time, July 6th), NADIA INFORMED ME THAT: “They called me from Barnevernet, and I can see him next week. They also want a meeting..”
The following update was almost complete when the news came in! This experience becomes more like a serious roller-coaster ride as time passes. Is this the way all Barnevernet “clients” are treated??? Most of the cases that I’m aware of have had similarities to this case, particularly in an apparent lack of communication by the Barnevernet. Each case is unique and should be treated as such.
Just a few minutes ago, Nadia had no idea when she would next see Caspian.
*******Update*******
Caspian is no longer with those who love him the most. Nadia, his mother, continues to be devastated.
The picture above is one of the last taken of mother and child together before Monday, June 13th, 24 days ago. Nadia describes in her own words what happened on that day:
“Suddenly came the day I had feared. Police and child welfare stood at the door and forced their way in to get my little prince lying in his bed.”
Nadia also wrote this recently:
“I carried him for 9 months in my stomach, I loved him from the first moment I heard his heart”
Although the Wings of the Wind is still not aware of any public statement made by any source responsible for the separation of this child from this mother, statements of the defense lawyer have been made public.
Nadia’s lawyer, Harald Grape, writes about the hearing:
“It is recalled that child welfare leader, who met in committee, substantiated his opinion of the Caspian, he will dwell with mother at Hennum would not suffer as required by law. It was pointed journal dated 14th June where it appears that “Whether she should get the child back there is no reason to believe that the baby will suffer any direct overload…”
“How Tribunal has reached this is quite incomprehensible although one assumes reports to Vilde. Vilde was worried about Caspian had a “nascent lopsided development” based on reports that the tribunal had not will be accessible under the committee meeting.” (Google Translate)
“After our stay at Hennum it is quite obvious that Caspian has not got lopsided development. Firstly refer to a medical certificate dated 14 June 2016 from the doctor Ingvild Setså. It appears here that the Caspian provide very good contact, smiles and is very active, good general condition. He was a healthy and active boy who provide very good contact. This is a clear indicator that the Caspian in the five weeks he was with his mother after staying at Vilde developed well.” (Google Translate)
As noted in the last update the doctor, Ingvild Setså, was approved by the Barnevernet.
Mr. Grape continues:
“The Tribunal writes: ‘if the child is going back to his mother, he will again experience instability and fracture, which will be an additional burden for him'” (Google Translate)
“..it is quite obvious that the biological principle (is) no longer employed by the county boards in Norway. This violates the ECHR.” (The European Convention on Human Rights). (Google Translate)
This hearing took place on at The County Council for Child Welfare and Social Affairs (Fylkesnemnda) in Molde, Norway on Thursday, June 23rd.
Nadia was informed on Monday, June 27th that Caspian was to be kept by Norway’s Barnevernet (Child Protection Services).
Apparently, an appeal by Mr. Grape will not be heard.
Nadia will have to wait until August 25th for the next hearing in the case.
A protest will be held this Friday, July 8th, in Warsaw, Poland, for parents like Nadia. The protest is being held in conjunction with the NATO Summit Warsaw 2016 which will be attended by leaders from all over the world. _________________________________
My thoughts:
As this account continues to unfold, I am continually amazed at the circumstances under which this has happened.
If the translation is correct, Mr. Grape (Nadia’s lawyer) has made several important points:
First, he notes that a “child welfare leader, who met in committee, substantiated his opinion of …Caspian…It was dated 14th June (the day after Caspian was taken from his crib) where it appears that ‘Whether she should get the child back there is no reason to believe that the baby will suffer any direct overload…'”
So, it seems that in the hearing on the 14th a “child welfare leader” thought there was “no reason to believe that the baby will suffer any direct overload” if “she (Nadia) should get the child back.”
Second, Mr. Grape noted “How Tribunal has reached this is quite incomprehensible.”
Mr. Grape didn’t understand why the judge made such a decision and the only thing that was evident as the cause was the decision made at Vilde, the day after Nadia and Caspian left the Vilde “Mother’s Home.”
It is important to remember that the “Tribunal” consisted of one man.
Third, the term “nascent lopsided development” seems to be the term that The Vilde Mothers’ Home (Parent and Childcare center) used in the police report when Nadia was found missing. It appears that the judge in Molde made his decision on this report alone.
I looked up the word “nascent” in a dictionary. It means “just coming into existence and beginning to display signs of future potential.”
So, if I’m reading this correctly, Caspian was taken from his mother because some “lopsided development” was just beginning to show.
Every baby has its own personality. To take a child from his biological mother for such a reason is inhumane.
Fourth, Ingvild Setså (A doctor approved by the Barnevernet) checked Caspian’s health the day after he was kidnapped (kidnapped is the only term that fits well) from the Hennum home and his mother, Nadia. The doctor found Caspian to be in good health after being away from Vilde, enough to write some type of “medical certificate.”
Fifth, Mr. Grape writes that: “The Tribunal writes: ‘if the child is going back to his mother, he will again experience instability and fracture, which will be an additional burden for him…'”
So, one man called “The Tribunal” found a statement by a “Child Welfare leader;” the report of a doctor; and the eyewitness account (that is normally not taken) of the professional nurse, Margaret Hennum (it is also mentioned by Mr. Grape) to be inadmissible evidence in this case.
Also, as has already been noted, Caspian received a good health report on the day after he was taken from his crib. It appears obvious that the baby Caspian must have been getting very good care as noted by the doctor. How does this explain, “he will again experience instability?” This statement is made by the judge in spite of the fact that Caspian was receiving the best care of his young life at the home of Maraget Hennum.
Instead, “The Tribunal” used a report from the Vilde Center about some type of “”nascent lopsided development” to make his decision.
Also note that the phrase “he will AGAIN experience instability and fracture” is used.
After multiple reports that I’ve become aware of regarding the “Centers” where parents are observed (cameras are used), if anything caused instability it was the environment that Nadia and Caspian were in for the first important months of Caspian’s life.
Sixth, these “Centers” are supposed to be voluntary. This is stated on the Barnevernet’s own website.
Norway has been admonished more than one time about human rights abuses similar to the ones in Nadia’s and Caspian’s case. The words of the ECHR have fallen on deaf ears.
And last, Nadia has to wait until August 25th, as far as we know, to get another “hearing” in some type of court.
Where is Caspian? His own mother doesn’t know because the Barnevernet seems to think she is going to attempt to “kidnap” him. I have already used the term “kidnapped” here and it wasn’t in reference to Nadia.
Has Caspian been placed with potential foster care workers and is he now forming some kind of bond with them?
How do we know Caspian is receiving good care. Has there been another doctor’s report?
Is the Barnevernet watching Caspian as intently as it did at Vilde? It they are, it is unhealthy. Constant surveillance for the purpose of observation is intrusive at best. A loving parent is best suited to watching the child to insure its safety and welfare.
There are other questions, but enough have been asked for now. ————————–
I JUST HEARD FROM NADIA AGAIN. (It is now almost 8 pm in Norway.) THERE WAS SOME SORT OF MISUNDERSTANDING AND NADIA’S MEETING WITH CASPIAN IS TOMORROW, THURSDAY, JULY 7.
I asked Nadia where the meeting was and how far she had to travel. Here was her reply:
“I will have to travel to Bergen. It’s far away.. I have to drive 40 minutes, then take a airplane, then a bus for maybe 1 hour. They say they want a meeting on Friday.”
Nadia was in a hurry as she needed to prepare for the trip and said good-bye with a smiley face. She has had such a good attitude, as far as I can tell, after all she has been through.
So, she has to hurry to make a long trip so that she can see Caspian tomorrow in Bergen and then she will go to some kind of meeting with Barnevernet officials on Friday.
What if Nadia couldn’t make the meeting for one reason or another, maybe because of time or financial constraints? Would this be held against her to add to the non-existent evidence for taking Caspian in the first place. One can only wonder…and pray.
Why has Baby Aria never slept in her own crib? As far as the Wings of the Wind has been able to ascertain, there were only two reasons given to her parents:
Reason #1: Aria’s father, Ken Olsen, was a danger to his wife and child.
Reason #2: Aria’s mother, Vibeke, would not renounce her husband.
The video above was made by Ken Olsen and was published one week ago. It explains other details of the case.
This is very similar to the Baby Caspian case. Caspian and his Mother, Nadia, have now been separated for almost 20 days. The Caspian story has gotten notice from many sources including this publication.
Two days after her birth, baby Aria was separated from her father, Ken. Baby Aria and Vibeke were left alone in a place called Moringen. Allegedly, Ken and Vibeke were not able to communicate as Vibeke’s telephone was confiscated. Vibeke was able to contact Ken after five days of separation. Apparently, no one called Ken to let him know what was happening.
It is now one and a half years after Baby Aria was taken from her Parents. The Wings of the Wind has been told by a source close to the situation that the Barnevernet has made NO effort to reunify this child with her biological parents.
There have been four hearings involving baby Aria, two regarding the emergency removal, and two on the “overtaking of the care.” After all other options were gone, Ken and Vibeke appealed to a higher court. The appeal was denied.
========================== Editor’s Note:
It is another baffling decision that has come from Norway’s Child Protective Services.
Why was this couple given no chance to parent this child?
Why were the mother and child taken from a father who had done nothing wrong? He had not been violent to the mother or the child.
There were 3 members on committees in at least 2 of the 4 hearings where Ken and Vibeke were present. Baby Caspian only had one person make the very important decision that a young child should not be returned to her loving parent. This inconsistency seems very odd.
Ken said, “Even the psychologist, has never seen anything like this.”
The judge has decided: Caspian is NOT coming home to Nadia!
Within the past few hours, Nadia has received a verdict by e-mail and Margaret Hennum has talked to Nadia’s lawyer by phone.
The judge has ruled against Nadia and Caspian.
The Wings of the Wind has been told by a good source that there was only one thing the judge considered in this hearing.
A police report was filed by someone at the Vilde Mothers’ Home on the 6th of May. Nadia had left The Vilde Mothers’ Home with Caspian the day before, on May 5th, less than two months ago.
The judge’s ruling was based solely on this report.
Nadia’s lawyer Harald Grape was very surprised by the decision and appealed the verdict today.
The report of a doctor was not considered in the decision.
A doctor approved by the Barnevernet had a checked Caspian’s health and found no signs of neglect. This check up took place the day after Caspian was taken from his crib on Monday, June 13th.
Caspian was doing well with his mother.
The judge did not consider Nadia’s treatment in the Vilde Mother’s Home.
The Judge did not consider the report of the doctor or any of the reports or testimony made by Margaret Hennum, the pediatric nurse who had welcomed Nadia and Caspian into her own home to try and help them.
The judge did not consider the good environment that Caspian was exposed to at Ms Hennum’s home.
A good source states that: “None of this valuable evidence was even mentioned by the judge in his decision.”
The appeal by Nadia’s lawyer, Harald Grape, was made to Tingretten, which is some type of lower court or Council Court in Norway.
The Wings of the Wind will give more information about Tingretten in a future update as this information was only learned from a good source moments ago.
It is not known at this time when this case will be heard. Harold Grape is hoping that it will be before the previously proposed date that had been set if Nadia had been entrusted with her son.
The date for that court hearing had been set for August 25th. Mr. Grape is hoping that this case will be heard before that date.

Editor’s note:
This publication is tracking the events as they occur in Norway in modern times.
It is my understanding that this account is not unusual in Norway.
The majority of evidence can be in the mother’s favor and still not be even considered.
This is not democracy. Where is the due process afforded to any citizen of a democratic society?
Damage has been done today. How much damage has been done we may never know.
A child has been deprived of his loving Mother once again. How many times will they do this in Norway? Sadly, it is just another day there. This is not that unusual. In fact, it is common.
A parent can do nothing right in the eyes of the Barnevernet when it chooses to look at a mother as a bad parent. Good things that the parent tries are seen as bad. All one has to do is read the account first reported in THE RISE AND FALL (?) OF THE NORWEGIAN CPS to understand what many young mothers in Norway are going through.

BABY CASPIAN KIDNAPPED IN NORWAY…UPDATE #9
July 30, 2016– Nadia
July 28, 2016
“They have taken everything from me. I hope things work out soon.” – Nadia (July 28, 2016)
It has been a week since the last Update. Nadia had two more visitations this week, on Thursday and Friday. She is now back in Brandal and will make the trip to see her son again next Thursday and Friday in Bergen. Nadia waits until Monday, August 8th to see if the CPS will let her have Caspian until the very important hearing on August 25th.
As mentioned in earlier reports, a decision about Caspian’s custody will be made on August 25th.
Nadia received more visitation reports this week. The first is titled:
“Interaction between mother and Caspian”
Friday, July 22nd, 2016
“Good and calm mood preferentially entire assemblage. Mom had her eyes on the child throughout the assemblage. The child seemed comfortably round toys and mother, and was curious to everything around them. He looked even be tired towards the end of companionship and mother were good to notice this. She took him up in his arms, gave him the pacifier and rocked him while she spoke softly to him.”
Thursday, July 28th, 2016
“Quiet gathering with much interaction between mother and child. My mother was good at and accompany the child and had his eyes constantly. She introduced more toys for your child by being together and spent some of the time without playing, when she spoke to him while she stroked him on the stomach and back, and walked with his arms. The child seemed a little tired by being together. He smiled a lot when the mother tickled him his stomach. He looked at toys and mother, when the Games were moved by the mother and when she sang for him. They had several brief eye contact.”
Nadia’s Mother-in-Law was allowed to see Caspian during the visit on Friday. Caspian’s Grandma has only seen him one other time, at the hospital when he was born. She was allowed to be in the visitation for one hour and had tears in her eyes as she left.
Nadia’s comments after Friday’s visit (7/30/16):
“They took the finest and most precious I had.
I carried him for 9 months in my belly,
I loved him from the first moment I heard his heart ..
Now I’m here again with the best observations ..
Caspian had it good with me and his family who loves him. I hope this works out soon ..”
Nadia also made this comment:
“I haven’t got him baptized even.”
Caspian will be eight months old Monday. His life has been dominated by decisions made by Norway’s Barnevernet.
Since the second day of his life, Caspian and his mother have been under scrutiny (observation) or apart 80% of the time.
Visitation
July 29, 2016
——————————————————–
My thoughts:
The reasons Caspian was taken from Nadia continue to bewilder, but she has been allowed two visits each week now for several weeks. Not all parents of children taken in Norway get two visits each week, so one hopes this is an indication that Nadia’s case has been and is being viewed favorably.
Nadia and Caspian have had three different observers for their visitations. All of the reports seem to agree that the visitations are very positive. This is an indication of Nadia’s consistency during the visits.
This week, a CPS worker in Bergen made a few comments on this blog regarding Maria’s case. Knut Nyguaard, a CPS caseworker has commented here and on other sites about cases like Nadia’s. He didn’t answer several questions I had that I thought were relevant to Nadia’s case. Mr. Nygaard did make this statement:
(You can see the entire conversation in the comments AT THE BOTTOM OF UPDATE #8)
“I should be closer to understand how Norway, Norwegians and the CPS as a whole works than you up in the Springs, Chris.”
I agree with Knut here. He should understand the CPS system much better than I.
Why, then, doesn’t he answer simple questions? I have asked him many simple questions here and on another forum (Delight in Truth’s Blog) and I haven’t gotten answers. I have asked to see copies of training materials used in the Mother’s homes (Parent and Child Centers). This is only one request among many questions that have been ignored.
Not only is it difficult to get information from this CPS worker, I have observed unbalanced reports in the media, and gotten almost no answers from political parties in Norway.
I did get one reply from the Høyre political party back on June 8th. This is somewhat significant because the Hoyre party is the party of Prime minister Erna Solberg.
The reply:
“Hello again! The child-welfare act is a system with a need of improvement. It is a system that allows the most vulnerable children to be tossed around between various, seemingly difficult situations. In some cases childrens rights have not been properly protected, the childrens act law has been violated along with multiple limit violations on the child-welfare act, and proper cooperation between the ministry and subordinate agencies is lacking. Our new government is currently working on a reform that will provide better and more customized services. For further inquiries, we strongly advise that you take direct contact with the Ministry of Children and Equality.”
Thus, there is an acknowledgement of problems within the child-welfare system in Norway by a political party that holds powerful positions. The reply mentions: “Our new government is currently working on a reform that will provide better and more customized services.” At this point, I’m not aware of any successful reform that has taken place in Norway’s CPS.
