Foreldre fra Naustdal tiltalt for voldsbruk (Parents from Naustdal indicted for use of violence)
Naustdal/Oslo (NTB-Linus Røvik Hauge): Begge foreldrene i en norsk-rumensk fembarnsfamilie fra Naustdal kommune i Sogn og Fjordane er tiltalt for voldsbruk mot barna sine.(Both parents in a Norwegian-Romanian family with five children from Naustdal municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county have been indicted for use of violence against their children.)
Adresseavisen – NTB, 10 August 2016
"– Det er tatt ut tiltale mot min klient for oppdragervold. Hun har erkjent delvis straffskyld og har hele veien erkjent å ha gitt barna lette klaps i oppdragelsen, sier morens forsvarer, advokat Ingrid Breistein, til NTB.
Hun sier saken har vært en stor påkjenning for hele familien, og at de håpet saken kunne vært løst som en såkalt tilståelsessak som går uten vitneførsel, men hvor det kun skal avgjøres eventuell straffutmåling.
– De håpet å få ro og at saken kunne vært løst på en enklere måte, for eksempel som en tilståelsessak uten full hovedforhandling, sier Breistein."( – My client has been charged with use of child-raising violence. She has admitted liability in part and has all along confirmed that she has given the children light slaps in raising them, says the mother's defence counsel, lawyer Ingrid Breistein, to NTB [the national news bureau].
She says that the case has been a great strain for the whole family, and that they hoped the case could have been solved as a so-called confession case which is run without witnesses, where the only question to be settled is a possible sentence.
– They had hoped to get peace and that the case could have been settled in an easier way, for example as a confession case without full court procedure, says Breistein.)
The NTB article is in several newspapers, e.g.

The local paper near Naustdal, Firda, has a very short article:
Statsadvokaten har tatt ut tiltale (The district attorney his pressing charges)
Firda, 10 August 2016

Several papers have articles with pictures from the demonstrations and some recapitulation of them:

The newspaper Vårt Land (with a virtuously state-servile Christian profile) is again pursuing their main interests, defence of Barnevernet, condemnation of criticism, rejection of the case, which was central in the demonstrations and protests, having anything to do with persecution of Christianity:
Fikk barna tilbake – tiltalt for "oppdragervold" (Got the children back – charged with "child-raising violence")
Vårt Land, 10 August 2016
The article above was written by the paper's journalist Erlend Friestad, who has also produced several of the earlier Barnevern-friendly articles.
At the bottom of the article the paper advertises that it also contains a comment with an enlightening title:
KOMMENTAR: Demonstrantene tror de hjelper innvandrerbarn ved å advare mot barnevernet. De kunne ikke tatt mer feil, skriver Trygve W. Jordheim (The demonstrators believe they help immigrant children by warning against Barnevernet. They couldn't bew more wrong, Trygve W. Jordheim writes.)
This article, then, has been written by another Vårt Land journalist, Trygve W. Jordheim, who is equally much of a defender of Bernevernet, but the article can only be read if one is someone who "appreciates good journalism" and therefore subscribes. (It seems to mean that by clicking in, you have shown that you appreciate the journalism of Vårt Land. Other interpretations would seem possible, I should say!)
