– news believes that “No one loves Bamsegut” is an important story about how the weakest in society are treated by the public. During production, we found out that Granfoss had a moral judgment against him from 1991, says Marius Lillelien, Director of the district division in a press release. The documentary “Ingen elsker Bamsegut” has received tremendous attention after its premiere on news on 15 November. The 1st episode was broadcast on NRK1 last Wednesday, and all episodes have been available on news TV online. The series is about a disabled man in his 60s who moved to the Philippines ten years ago, but now wants to come home. “A cry for help leads Tore Strømøy to the Philippines, where disabled Bamsegut ran aground more than ten years ago,” writes news in the review. Many have wanted to support the man after the series was published, and one Spleis has collected over NOK 3.8 million. But this has now been put on hold. Criticism news has received criticism for, among other things, hanging out the public aid apparatus, not asking critical questions of the lawyers and not taking into account the man’s 15-year-old son. – He spins a story where the family is chased out of Norway against their will, by an emotionless and hostile “system”, wrote Aftenposten commentator Christina Pletten. She concludes that the series should never have been broadcast, and points to three possible violations of the Vær varsom poster.

Photo: Kjetil Nesgård / news Moved after legal advice The man in his 60s moved to the Philippines with his wife and son in 2012. The reason was a report of concern from child protection. When the man received the letter, he called lawyer Erling Kjærmann, who had previously helped him in a compensation case. In the series, the lawyer says that he said the following to the man: “You can choose to stay in (the home municipality) and try to cooperate with the child welfare services. Then there is a danger that there will be a takeover of care. You can move to another municipality. But then there will probably be a new message of concern. You also have the option of moving abroad, for example, your wife is from the Philippines.” On Sunday, news tried to get in touch with the two lawyers involved without success.
