A court case supported actively by the workers 

To separate a mother from her child by force

The court case involved here is one of the cruelest events actively supported by senior workers  this century has seen. 

I would like to ask any parent that may read this, "Honestly, how would you feel if it happened to you.?"  Don't say it couldn't happen to you, as I am sure that Astrid would have felt that way a few years ago. 

Today, the workers in Norway have  declared her and her husband unwelcome  in ALL the official friends homes, in ALL of Norway.

The workers have actively supported the court case to take away her parental rights to be together with her 2 year old (3 years old this next week) son. She has been very very obviously betrayed by her professing family (they, including her sister in the work have supported the court proceedings to forbid her contact with her son). 

She has also been betrayed by representatives of the faith she has had since she has had from her childhood. (They stood up against her - and presented false testemony against her in court)

The pictures here are from the 3 day court proceedings in Bergen Norway that I was asked by Grant and Astrid to be with them in. It was a closed court so we weren't allowed to listen to the proceedings themselves - but got to know Grant and Astrids lawyer quite well, and of course were continuously kept informed as to developments of the case.

The court decision is to be made in approximately 2 weeks.
