The police have charged a couple from Stange in Hedmark with abducting their  nine months old twin daughters. The family is now want by the Interpol.

– This is a case of child abduction which is investigated under the criminal law provisions on care evasion. Our view of this case, is that it just gets increasingly worse each day,  Bjørn Egil Drangevåg, prosecutor at Asker and Bærum police station, says to TV2 news.

CPS took the twin girls away from the young couple  shortly after their birth. The allegation was that her mother is mentally retarded and therefore not fit to provide care. TV2 writes that two new psychologist reports show that this is wrong.

When the couple, who are 24 and 21 years old, heard that they would not get  their children back, even after the new assesment,  the  family fled  to Poland.

– The girls are doing well. The main thing is that they are doing well. We understand that not everyone agrees with what we have done, but this is the way it will be. We did it because of the girls, and that’s what is most important here,  the mother says to TV2 from Poland.

The polices urge the parents to turn themselves in.
– Contact the police, wherever you are and we’ll help you home,  Drangevåg says.
CPS does  not want to comment on individual cases.
