The now 17-year-old boy is back in Narvik. This is confirmed by the mother’s lawyer, Lise Marthine Jensen. She has helped Kristel Aadahl in the hunt for her son Lucas for several years. – Both Lucas and his mother are doing very well, says Jensen to news. Jensen is also an assistant lawyer for the zone, and speaks on behalf of the family. When Aadahl was supposed to pick up the then six-year-old son from school one December day in 2011, he had disappeared. Aadahl’s ex-partner had taken their common son to Libya, his homeland. Lucas has been there for the past eleven years, without contact with his family in Norway. But mother Aadahl never gave up. And on Sunday 19 February he finally came home to Narvik, says Jensen to the local newspaper Fremover. Mamma Kristel has three children, and they all have a place on her arm.

The family needs peace and does not wish to make a statement at this time, she says. – Their focus is naturally enough on other things than the media right now, but they are doing very well, she says. 823 abducted children Between 2009 and 2019, 823 children were abducted from Norway. Figures from the government show that. Lucas was one of these children. The statistics show a compilation of civil international child abduction cases from Norway, which the Ministry of Justice and Emergency Preparedness and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have registered. In total, there were 541 child abduction cases, and 456 of them were closed during the 15 years. Child abduction cases are closed when the child or children have been taken back to the country of residence based on a decision according to one of the Hague Conventions. The government writes that. There can be a legally binding decision that the child should not be sent back, that the parents have agreed on where the child should live, or that the abductor chooses to return home voluntarily. The father was charged Shortly after the abduction, the child’s father was charged with an offense under section 216 of the Penal Code, keeping a minor away from his carer. Both the boy and the father were wanted via Interpol. Kripos and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were also involved in the abduction case. In 2019, the father wanted to come home to Norway with the son voluntarily, but then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said no. Mamma Aadahl has been working for a long time to get her son home. She has hired lawyers in Libya to find the zone. She has also traveled to the country on two occasions and conducted two court cases in the hope of getting her son home. It has been unsuccessful both times. Lawyer Lise-Marthine Jensen tells news that mother and son are doing well.
