Leif and Terese Kristiansen and their son Kai recently moved from Canada to Norway in search of new opportunities. They placed the 12-year-old Kai in the local public school, but unfortunately he became the victim of merciless bullying. School officials did not resolve the situation. To protect Kai’s fundamental rights to dignity and personal security, his parents did the responsible and loving thing: they removed him from school and immediately began to homeschool him. By choosing to homeschool their son, the Kristiansens did what was obviously in the best interest of their child. On Thursday, February 9, 12-year-old Kai was hunted down and then tackled in the snow by Barnevernet agents and police. In this letter the Pestalozzi Trust urges the Norwegian Government to return Kai to his parents.
