Cover Story: This article is about how contact between parents and children under public care is seen as a risk in Norway. Rather than being seen as meaningful and important for a child’s development, contact is seen as an administrative concept where the discourse of the “dangerous child welfare parent” transforms contact into something risky. In this way, parents in child welfare services are given a general identity that is defined in advance. Contact between parents and children under public care thus becomes the result of a political discourse rather than something that is assessed according to the individual situations and needs of children and families.
