The Intern Diaries: Norway’s Stolen Children?

The story of children being taken away from their parents particularly grabbed Georgina Davies’ interest as it conflicted with her image of Norway as an idyllic, progressive country.

Georgina filming with one of Monica Fridtjofsen's children - five of them were taken away by Barnevernet, but later returned.

In the latest of Dateline’s Intern Diaries podcasts, she talks to intern Sivert Eimhjellen, who’s originally from Norway, about the journey she took for her story, Norway's Stolen Children?

And she explains how she made sure the distress of some families she met was balanced with the experiences of other children, who were saved from harm after being removed by the country’s child protection service.
