'Amy Jacobsen is an American mother whose son Tyler was taken from her by the Norwegian government in 2013 when he was just 19 months old. According to authorities, the reason Jacobsen, who was living in Norway at the time, lost custody of her son is that he was underweight and malnourished. Child Protective Services had no choice but to intervene....
'Amy was on a holiday in America with Tyler... The day after she got back in July 2013, the police and Child Protective Services knocked at the door to take Tyler to the doctor’s office. But instead of taking the child to the local doctor, who had Tyler’s medical records, they took him to one 45 miles away. The doctor there found Tyler to be a halfpound underweight and with a slight vitamin B12 deficiency. That was enough to take Tyler from his mother.
'“They’re not allowed to know where Tyler is now,” Korf said. “In fact, they’ve changed his name twice to make sure that [his parents] don’t find his whereabouts.”'
