During the research in Norway, our Polish-Norwegian team encountered a social factwhich inspired us to create a separate research field in the project. Many intervieweesmentioned the name of The Child Welfare Service of Norway: Barnevernet. The majorityof opinions about this service were negative – both in the respondents’ narratives and onthe internet forums for the Polish migrants (‘mojanorwegia’) or social network fan pages(Polacy w Stavanger, Polacy w Norwegii). There are vividly negative emotions present inthe Poles’ statements about raising children in Norway, and the fear of Barnevernet is particularlyapparent. It was this ‘fear’ that triggered the research presented in this article. Westarted to look for its presence in both the Polish public reality and in the private sphere.We decided to use a critical discourse analysis to discover communication mechanismswhich have influenced the shape of the Polish attitude towards Barnevernet.

In the article, the author raises controversial questions concerning the functioning of the Norwegian institution Barnavernet, seen from both Polish and Norwegian perspectives. A diplomatic conflict, in which the Norwegian representatives recognized the Polish consul Sławomir Kowalski as persona non grata in Norway, constitutes a pretext for discussion. The main thesis of the article is the indication of the different and deep mental characteristics of Poles and Norwegians, which determine the image and evaluation of the institution’s functioning. It is constituted by: (1) the trust, especially bridging trust, significantly low in Poland and very high in Norway; (2) the very Polish “culture of complaining” staying in opposition to affirmativeness of Norwegians; (3) the act of giving more significance to the country while solving the family conflicts in Norway and leaving those conflict, especially the issues concerning children, in the area of responsibility of the family only; (4) mentality based and built on tradition and the past in Poland and the orientation directed towards the future in Norway; (5) high level of social consent to violence in Poland in opposition to Norway, where violence is additionally seen in more sophisticated and differentiated way. The latest research of brain physiologists concerning experiencing violence and fear by the child, especially in the early period of its life proves that the changes in the child’s brain have destructive, and what is even more important, permanent effect. In some way, this fact reinforces the practice of taking away children from their biological families. On the other hand, the trauma of being taken away is not noticed by the Norwegians. In a sense, the diplomatic confl ict resulting in expulsion of the Polish consul from Norway can begin the freshening corrections in the functioning of this institution.

Główną tezą artykułu jest wskazanie na odmienne, głębsze charakterystyki mentalne Polaków i Norwegów determinujące wizerunek i ewaluację funkcjonowania tej instytucji. Należą do nich: (1) zaufanie, w szczególności zaufanie pomostowe (bridging trust) wyjątkowo niskie w Polsce i bardzo wysokie w Norwegii; (2) specyficzna dla Polski „kultura narzekania” w opozycji do norweskiej afirmatywności; (3) przydawanie państwu większego znaczenia w rozstrzyganiu sporów z rodziną w Norwegii oraz traktowanie dziecka jako nieomal wyłącznie pozostającego w gestii rodziny w Polsce; (4) mentalne osadzenie na tradycji i przeszłości Polaków oraz orientacja skierowana na przyszłość strony norweskiej; (5) wysoki stopień społecznego przyzwolenia na przemoc w Polsce w opozycji do Norwegii gdzie przemoc jest dodatkowo widziana w bardziej wyrafinowany i zróżnicowany sposób. Najnowsze badania fizjologów mózgu dotyczące doświadczania przemocy i strachu przez dziecko, szczególnie we wczesnym okresie życia dowodzą iż zachodzące zmiany w mózgu dziecka mają destruktywny, i co ważne trwały skutek. W jakimś stopniu, fakt ten przemawia za praktykami odbierania dzieci z rodzin biologicznych. Z drugiej strony trauma przeżywana z tego tytułu przez dzieci nie jest dostrzegana przez Norwegów. W tym sensie, konflikt dyplomatyczny z wydaleniem konsula polskiego z Norwegii może okazać się początkiem ożywczych korekt naprawczych w funkcjonowaniu tej instytucji.
