Children keep disappearing from Norwegian asylum centres. Many of these may be victims of human trafficking and there is great reason to believe that several have been recruited into organised crime and narcotics.

The problem of disappearing children is continuously increasing and most of them are never found. In the time period 2000-2008, 600 kids disappeared. PRESS – Save the Children Youth thinks the children are an easy target for human trafficking. Last year alone there were 71 children disappearing from asylum centres.

PRESS – Save the Children Youth, expresses the need to prevent this from happening and they are now demanding that asylum-children are given the same treatment as Norwegian orphans. – Nobody would have closed their eyes if this happened to Norwegian kids, says Kirsten Kvalø leader of the organisation, to Dagbladet.
