Kildedal promises a review of Bufetat’s routines. – When such tragic events occur, we always thoroughly review our work to see if there is anything we can do differently in our measures. In addition to our own review, we will collaborate with the State Administrator on their review of the case, and with the child protection service in the further work, says Kildedal. Police attorney Andersen will not disclose where the institution is at this time out of consideration for the other residents.
