There is a final update on the first story, OP and her kids moved to another country, she refused to say where and honestly I don’t blame her. She told the principal who understood and as sad as it is, she told her daughter to cut contact with her friends in Norway because she didn’t want any info to be accidentally leaked. Her husband is still there but he will be joining them in the new year. Astrid had the nerve to come to the house to offer Xmas cookies but the husband told her to leave. The principal did tell the class that op’s daughter did leave the school but no other information was leaked. Astrid came over AGAIN asking where the daughter was! Op told two other neighbours what is happening and they are on her side. But her and her kids are safe, hopefully when the husband leaves they can put everything behind them. Edit: so there is a part I left out because op didn’t put it in her post, it was in the comment section, but someone here has mentioned it. The crazy ass couple called CPS on op and her husband about the kids saying they neglected them because op was overwhelmed but because of how quick op left she didn’t know about until she was already gone. So she left just in time!

I personally wouldn’t be satisfied until those two are dealt with by law enforcement. There’s no telling when they might try something like this with someone else. Sure the local cops aren’t helping, but isn’t there a higher authority you can appeal to? I’m not sure how law enforcement is structured in Norway, but I know that in the US if local police aren’t doing their jobs you can reach out to state police.

I'm Norwegian, and what that couple is NOT acceptable behaviour. You do NOT abduct another family's child. You do NOT re-dress them withot the approval of the parents. You do NOT steamroll the parents' wishes. The OP was right in calling the cops. Not too sure on the pedo accusations. That can come back to bite her.

If Astrid and Morten's way of handling grieving is by taking another parent's child without letting her know and stalking, they need serious therapy/counseling and a restraining order instead of people enabling them. I can understand that grief can really ruin a person but it isn't an excuse or allowed to be used as justification for this kind of behavior.

Op commented “It's not the authorites but it's a small town and people grew up together.”

Story 1: I've actually seen stuff like this happen before. It's a very common tactic for trying to build custody cases and is more likely to happen in very small towns due to the sheer amount of corruption involved. The problem for OP is that Astrid and Morton both have close connections with the school and the police department that makes it very difficult to get anything documented since all the harassment incidents from Astrid and Morton are being dismissed thanks to the principal and the police, even the kidnapping. If there's no national way to get this noticed, like a 911 call that would force outside involvement, there's really nothing OP can do but leave.

Child grief can turn dangerous if not treated properly and since the people around them only enable their poor behavior, it's doomed to snowball into something worse.

When my wife was pregnant we had a discussion about what to call the kid. Both of our fathers liked their names, they went well together, and both would have been pleased to have a child named after them. The girl's name was more difficult as neither of our mothers particularly liked their names and they didn't go well together (think "Billi Sue" only worse). After a lot of discussion we came up with a girl's name that we could live with. Naturally we had a daughter who's an only child.

The husband's bosses don't find stalking and possible kidnapping important enough to leave work for a few days? Lol wtf? Edit: also, im curious to the daughter's reaction to being taken to the 'Hallowveen' party.

Don’t you love it when law enforcement doesn’t do anything even when OP’s daughter er was LITERALLY KIDNAPPED?! Being taken into a car and taken somewhere else without the parents knowledge and consent is the *literal definition of kidnapping*

Man that family is insane and creepy. I hope OP stays safe that’s so scary

Props to the principal for saying what needed to be said Theres also a healthy way of grieving and a unhealthy way Its up to Astrid and her husband to seek out the help they need to progress their grieving. Not getting help and getting attached to a child that isnt theirs then going as far as to involve CPS is pure insanity, mentally unstable OPs constant no to them both, but them pushing, taking the kids and holding the kids is even more creepy!

"Daynger" is my middle name would actually be epic.

That first story 😬 Red flags upon red flags.

It's crazy how other countries operate. I recall rslash telling a story about how someone literally stole a baby out of the dad's arms and if not for the the mom coming to the rescue right on time, the child would have been kidnapped. Not sure how others can willingly allow others to inappropriately touch (whether it be holding the child without permission, changing them, etc) and not take more harsh actions against the offenders. After telling the cops a few times, I feel there is validation to use force in protecting your family.

I remember that story. I'm pretty sure that was set in the US. The dad got fucked over because of sexist morons.

As a mom, this story terrified me. I'm so glad that the mom got herself and her kids out of there before something horrible happened. No amount of grief that Astrid is going through justifies what she is doing. I hope she never finds other girls to latch onto and attempt to steal.

Story 1 had a final update. She and the kids are at their moms while her husband I believe is at the house waiting on his next deployment. Astrid had come to the house asking why tje girl was not at school.i think she figured out they are moving because the kids at school made her goodbye pictures but they won't reveal what country they moved to.

Wow that was pretty crazy. It’s extremely unforgiving that they would take op daughter and put her in there car and take off. That’s freaking kidnapping!!! I’m so glad you got her back, seriously that couple is down right insane. And the teacher definitely deserves to be fired and the ex husband officer needs to be disciplined.

I hope we can get an update to know if that family is alright. Those neighbors are crazy and dangerous!

There was a post made yesterday with an update. They are currently safe and got out just in time. A lot has happened in the last few days. I don't want to give too many details as this story has been leaked to other Social media without my approval. I also don't want Astrid and Morton to find this now that it's on several platforms. I am at my parents. We are all safe now. My husband will be joining us in the new year once he sorts out his new assignment. I won't say what country we are in now as my husband said that Astrid came by the house under the guise of giving us Christmas cookies two days ago wondering why my daughter hadn't been at school. He told her politely to leave. Before leaving I only told the prinicipal and not her teacher. Her principal understood and said it was her responsibility to relay that information to the class and the teacher. Today she was at our place again asking him where she was as the principal told the class that my daughter was sad to leave them but we had moved (no other details given). She made her school friends drawings that were given to them. Sad as it is I don't want her to contact her friends in case they say something to the wrong person. My daughter will make new friends and hopefully won't miss her Norwegian friends too much. I did tell two of my closest neighbours on the day I was leaving, but they were always on friendly terms with me and they were on my side all along. To be honest I dont' know where my husband might get sent next. For now we are all safe. Thank you for all the support. I know I didn't reply to all but I had a lot going on. Please don't hold it against me. RELEVANT COMMENTS * aliencupcake: It's disturbing that the community is ignoring how the couple is mourning their daughters' deaths in an extremely unhealthy way. I don't think there was a sexual aspect to their attention, but a plan to kidnap their son's "twin" seems extremely likely with the best case scenario being them inserting themselves as co-parents and the worst case scenario would be fostering/adopting her after framing you for neglect or straight out absconding with her at some point. I'm glad to hear that you and your family have gotten someplace safe where the couple and their friends can't reach you. OOP: I am glad that I am no longer there. The country is beautiful and the last time we lived in Norway was amazing. As for the coparenting thing. My husband told me that the CPS left a message with him that they hade recieved a bekymringsmelding (Notice of Concern as per Deepl). I managed to get out just in time. I didn't post this information as I only had a suspicion and didn't have all the details. My ex next door neighbour said that Astrid and Morton have been fosterparents in the past (prior to me moving there). Which is why she told them she thought I was an excellent mother when they tried to make it out that I was overwhelmed. They had a girl placed with them a few years ago, but for some reason it was a short term placement. My ex neighbour said that child look Pakistani/Indian and she thinks maybe they ended it themselves as she didn't look a certain way. This is all speculation as she doesn't know why it ended. Dragan_Rose: This needs to be higher. And if you or someone you know and trust knows how to alter the location metadata, send your harassers on a global wild goose chase * OOP: I might just do that as the CPS left a messsage with my husband. They received a bekymringsmelding (Notice of Concern as per Deepl) about my children. Seems them trying to make me seem like an overworked and overwhelmed mother had an endgame.

1st story is the plot of a movie I saw years ago. It was Norwegian but I can't remember the name. It was a thriller as in the end the parents were chasing them before she got away on a plane.

@melissaconnellyjones2622 half if not more stories on reddit are fake to get attention. This could be since it followed ghat movie closely.

Astrid and Morten seem like the type of couple to kidnap a child and justify that it’s because they’re grieving. That’s basically what they’re doing.

For the first story, Astrid and Morton (A&M) were 100% trying to steal the child and the teacher and her cop ex were accomplices. The fact that they kept defending A&M's actions and gaslighting OP into thinking she was overreacting should get them fired from their jobs, because god only know how far they're willing to go for A&M. I get that it's hard to lose a child, but that doesn't excuse their behavior towards OP's daughter. OP was 100% in the right to react the way she did. A&M were showing a clear pattern of escalation and it was only a matter of time before they kidnapped the daughter and fled.

The first story gave me chills similarly to when I watched Get out and Midsomer

“I can’t be swimming around with a bunch of 5 year olds, they can be so cruel when they sense weakness”

What I hate the most about that story is how everyone who was acting weird around OP’s kids were also gaslighting her saying “stop overreacting” “don’t be hysterical” “this is normal here” trying to lie and convince OP this is ignorant and a culture clash when in reality that couple were being genuinely creepy 🤢 I’m so glad OP saw thru their BS

I always feel bad for grieving parents. This crossed SO MANY lines. SO MANY LINES.

Story 1 : NTA.. " were not bad people we only wanted your child that is rightfully yours were not bad you have to believe us " .. nahhh op you did the right thing in calling them out for what they are. Morton and Astrid are giving off Karla hamolka and Paul Bernardo vibes.. yikes man op needs to report the teacher as well to the highest authority and not stop until the teacher gets told to sodd off as well.. how many times can op say no and stop that stuff to Morton abd Astrid before they get the point.. no op do not back down if anything add the teacher to your complaint as well.. Update: These frucking cops ain't gonna take anyone seriously until bad things occurs..best advice op move.. Story 2 : NTA.. is the friend mentally ok ??...

I do hope for an update on the first story, Im Norwegian and I don't think I can't relax until I know they are all safe again. These people are nuts! And crazy! Disgusting!

Story 1: I swear, I was already certain OP needed to take serious measures to protect herself and her kids. The neighbors' behavior was so damn creepy. All their actions up to a point showed they were basically trying to snatch OP's kid, given the boundaries that kept getting stepped on and the constant enabling by the others involved, especially the police and teacher. Those people are way out of line. Story 2: At least the friend realized she shouldn't have taken those feelings out on OP and being mindful about what she names her kid.

1st Story: We now have a #2 creepiest attempted kidnapping story. Yikes! If I was in this situation, the neighbors would be lucky to be able to walk and the teacher would be lucky to still have a job. Note to self, all fences need to be a minimum of 6.5ft tall. If I can't see over it, nobody can.

The 1st story is like a convicted serial killer standing in court saying "Yes it's true" and then saying "In my defence I also bought my mother a birthday present". 😠🖕🤬

That story sounds like it could be a horror movie. Move to a new town, end up with weird neighbors who want to kidnap your kids, seems like the whole town is in on it 😬 Scary

There actually was a movie made about this premise in 2020 called Run. In it, this disabled girl found out that she wasn't really disabled and that her crazy mom had been poisoning her to keep her disabled so she couldn't leave her mom. The mom's biological daughter died two hours after she was born, and the mom in a fit of psychotic grief stole another couple's newborn baby, named the baby after her own dead daughter and then kidnapped her to raise as her own. The mom basically coped with her grief in a really toxic and unhealthy way by seeing the kidnapped girl as her own dead daughter, like a watered-down version of Mother Miranda from Resident Evil 8. She kept her false daughter disabled so she couldn't leave, because then the mom could keep living in the delusion that her original daughter was still alive through the kidnapped girl and would thus never have to properly come to terms with losing her daughter. If the kidnapped daughter left, though, the Mom would feel like her original daughter had died all over again. Morton and Astrid were probably planning on stealing OP's daughter so they wouldn't have to keep grieving their own dead daughters and could just pretend OP's daughter was theirs. Grief is a horrible thing, but the lengths some people will go to in order to avoid it are so, SO much worse.

The Halloween story is STRESSING ME OUT!!!! It’s like this entire town is gaslighting this woman for putting up boundaries while having these random people be obsessed with her daughter. This is weird and gross, I hate it all. I’d move far far away.

Oh, the amount of bad people, that others label as "not bad people" and tries to excuse their behaviour

Honestly rslash, first story sounds perfectly normal and reasonable, that's just the way Norwegian people act in their psychological horror shows!

That last story; can we all agree that danger as a middle name is awesome? Every kid says that at least once but that kid will be the only one not blowing smoke about it. And even later on, if others try to pressure him into something by saying “guess Danger isn’t your middle name,” he can go “It is. But dumbass isn’t.”

Jesus christ that first one...

Opening the morning paper

That couple in the first story is absolutely _unhinged!_ Not weird, not creepy, but _unhinged,_ full stop. They crossed way over into 'having charges pressed against them' territory and I sincerely hope that charges will be pressed against them. What they're doing is harassment and collecting Jules in their car and taking her a party for a day that her parents have stated they don't celebrate *is* kidnapping. They're not *approaching* kidnapping territory... They *already* kidnapped Jules when they put her in their car and took her to their house for their "Halloveen" party. They 100% are trying to kidnap not only Jules, but probably the baby too. I guarantee you that the only reason Morton didn't seize his opportunity to book it out of the park with OP's baby is because he probably wouldn't have gotten far with her and he knew it. Astrid and Morton are absolutely unhinged and maybe, just maybe, they need to spend some time in jail, but the fact that the police aren't even on OP's side is scary. OP and her husband definitely need to move away ASAP!!

Story 2:I have seen many many many stories like this PEPOLE,DONT NAME KIDS FICTIONAL NAMES,HARD TO SPELL NAMES,OR ANYTHING THAT WILL GET THEM BULLIED IN SCHOOL,KIDS ARE NOT ACCESSORIES!!!!!!

Always a great day when I can start it with rslash!

Norwegian here, story one is absolutely insane and we do not claim Astrid, Morten or anyone related to them. You don't abduct a child and change their clothes without parental consent. It honestly seems like they're trying to substitute OPs kids as their own. Sidenote. Hallovenn translates to "Hallo-Friend". I personally didn't partake in this myself, but from what I understand, it's basically neutral, child friendly Halloween. No scary costumes, no horror. Just candy, soda and fun times in a setting made to include people of different cultures who don't celebrate Halloween for whatever reason.

0:46 'we understand the culture of America despite not being natives' Norway + Germany = America?

Good morning! Enjoying our fresh morning of rslash

Story One: NTA What the neighbors did is STILL abducting a child, crossing the boundaries and going against the parents' consent! They've broken at least a couple of laws! And ALL because they're a couple of SUPER creepy parents that wants to steal another couple's child to "Replace" the daughters they've lost. Have they NOT looked into adopting or even know what adoption is? They're both horrible people, entitled ones at that! Who STEALS a child from a family, re-dress them and make them think the kid has a "New family"? They're DEFINATELY being creepy, and even stalkerish! And the teacher is ALSO horrible as well! SIDING and ENABLING the creepy parents' actions, even their ACTS OF CRIME! WTF kind of a PRINCIPAL would side with LITERAL CRIMINALS and be perfectly ok with THAT!? I HOPE that both the neighbors AND the teacher got arrested and charged for their creepy behaviors, abducting a child and going against the parents' consent! I think the "Pedo" part is when the neighbors re-dressed OP's daughter, going against the child and parents' consent. That's just me though. UPDATE: "Case DISMISSED"!? Did they NOT see the neighbors' actions as both creepy AND wrong?! ALSO, Astrid taking pictures of OP's daughter WITHOUT consent is ALSO illegal! At this point, I think OP and her husband should think about moving FAR away from the "Neighbors" and file a restraining order! And NOW we can add MORE criminal charges with the physical assault (VIA touching a child), stalking, taking pictures of the kids without consent, harassment, defamation and slander... Glad to know the other neighbors sided with OP and protected the daughter! Actually, OP and her family don't need to move. It's the NEIGHBORS that needs to be arrested and sent to prison or the mental asylum! It's clear to anyone that their actions are getting MORE creepy and insane, to the point it can ALMOST be considered worse than "Pedo". If the cops DON'T do something to stop these creepy couple, then the couple would PROBABLY do something even WORSE in order to get their hands on the daughter, like committing a MURDER on OP and the family! EDIT: I think that MAYBE the Teacher was either related to Astrid or Morton, or the Teacher is a "good friend" of the couple. But either way, the Teacher's an accomplice to Astrid and Morton's disgusting entitlement and toxic behaviors! Going back to the cops, they FAILED to not only protect and defend a family with a child, but ALSO failed to uphold the "Protect and serve" oath by NOT doing their jobs and ARREST the creepy, stalkerish couple because of "Civil Matters" or whatever messed up excuses! The three "Cops" are just neglecting their jobs while ignoring the major red flags that OP's warning them about! I can ONLY hope that those Three Stooges got fired and black-listed from the law enforcement field after the MANY NUMEROUS FAILURES they've committed!

Wow story 1 I feel like OP needs to file charges against her neighbors and if the police refuse to do anything then OP needs to go over them! Story 2 OP is correct about what her friend wants to name her kid.

Good morning! I hope everyone is doing well have have a happy holiday

I swear it impossible for me to get first... KZread just refuses to show it until 2 minutes after at least 😅

I think this is the first time a Reddit story has legitimately given me the absolute creeps!

Mortin claiming your daughters could pass for his daughters was a huge red flag, I hope these people get some legal consequences and the Teacher too cause this is absolutely unacceptable and beyond creepy

Last story: whenever you’re naming a baby, you should ALWAYS imagine your child 30 years in the future working at a law firm. Is anyone going to take a lawyer named “Tinkerbell Jones” seriously? What about “Daynger Smith”? Imagine Daynger trying to be taken seriously as a doctor - would any hospital want him? Name your pet that will stay a pet something cute and unique. Name your baby that won’t stay a baby, but will grow up into an adult with a job and a family of their own as if you’re naming them like an adult with a job and a family of their own. Unique name =/= ridiculous name.
