– And then you have to discuss whether the case law today something we can live with. The way I have presented this case, it appears that case law raises the threshold and makes it more difficult for child care to report.

She is not sure if there is reason to criticize the police either, but believes child welfare, law enforcement and judicial authorities need to see if the current state of the law protects children well enough.

– I think that the threshold to report violence and abuse against children should be low, but that does also that when one reviewer that the judicial authorities must take the review seriously, and that it leads to a conviction in one or Another variant, said Anniken Hauglie.
