-They panicked again, grabbed all their belongings and moved out again.
-Why did they panic?
-I don't know.
-They didn't feel safe anywhere.
If you are the silent type, the fear must have been overwhelming.
I have never seen such extreme fear before.
It was almost hysterical.
Tove Smaadahl realises that Anna and Caroline can no longer deal with constant escape.
She decides to offer all five of them shelter in her own home.
Tove Smaadahl also uses her contacts within the police and the justice system.
-We had police protection in my home.
-Did you convince the police that this story was true?
-I have never asked them.
Weeks go by as Bella's Friends try to start a process against the paedophile network.
Caroline is losing all hope.
In her diary she writes: "I haven't thought this much about death in a long time."
"Death is in my thoughts almost constantly."
-Caroline was in a bad state.
She would often sit on the floor, curled up like a little dog.
I never really asked her about it, but-
-she was frequently very depressed, and she withdrew inside her shell-
-sitting on the floor.
"I give up. I just want to die. I can't take it any longer."
-I just wanted to die. Get away from it all.
I wrote a farewell letter to all my relatives at home.
I wanted them to know what had really happened.
Tove Smaadahl feels that she is losing control of the situation.
She calls the woman at the Swedish department of state, asking for help.
-Yes... I called the person who had contacted me originally-
-and told her that things are not going so well.
That one of the girls wanted to go home, but wasn't allowed to.
-What was her response?
-I asked her to get in touch with (...)-
-and tell them what to do.
But they wanted full control of the situation.
Caroline's reaction to the situation does not make Bella's Friends reconsider.
On the contrary, their response is even tougher control.
Caroline writes: "The others control me completely."
-I didn't want to be involved. I couldn't take it any longer.
They never left me alone. They chased me down whenever I tried to go outside.
-They made all the rules, all the time.
When to get up in the morning, when to go to sleep...
...they weren't allowed a phone. That scared them the most, that they would call someone.
Every night, Tove Smaadahl helps Bella's Friends hide all mobile phones,
-to prevent Anna and Caroline from sneaking up at night to call someone.
When Caroline is finally allowed to call her family, they make sure she cannot ask for help.
-They let me make a phone call once. But they were sitting next to me, dictating what to say.
I had to tell my family that everything was fine, that I was still at the camp.
That I was fine.
-Did you do what you were told? -Yes.
But I just wanted to scream, "Help me!"
They have been on the run for more than two weeks.
Bella's Friends are on their way to a new hiding place.
Tove Smaadahl has convinced the leaders to leave Caroline in her hiding.
Once Bella's Friends have left, Caroline can finally make her voice heard.
Tove Smaadahl drives her back to Sweden.
-She was so happy.
When I got back to Bornholm, I just cried all night.
They should have been stopped before they got to Norway. I should have stopped them.
I am very self-critical-
-for not stopping this much earlier.
Initially, I believed in their story.
Which you should.
I could have let a few days pass-
-but I should have stopped it after a while. Told them that enough is enough.
Today, Caroline finds it hard to understand why no one questioned Bella's Friend's story.
But to a lot of former shelter volunteers, the story is not surprising.
-It is not the norm within the movement, of that I am sure-
-but of course it can happen.
-It can happen to different degrees, and this was very serious. But it doesn't surprise me at all.
Not at all.
Lena Widding Hedin believes that any story that confirms the idea of men as perpetrators-
-and women as victims, is accepted without scrutiny within the movement.
There is a risk that even outrageous stories are accepted as truth-
-and that myths are perpetuated by volunteers who have lost their critical thinking.
-Fundamentalists, who don't think critically, who don't analyse different arguments-
-have a certain conviction that they propagate relentlessly.
They can incite very dangerous moods-
-just like this story shows.
The volunteers that Bella's Friends met whilst on the run, never questioned their story.
At least not enough to take action.
-At the time I didn't reflect on that, I was in such a bad state.
But in hindsight I think people should have asked more questions.
-Feminist sisters, women, girls and others!
Caroline reported the incident to the police, but the investigation was dropped.
ROKS are aware that she feels very badly treated by one of their shelters.
But ROKS didn't find any reason to get in touch with her.
Instead, their chairwoman defends Bella's Friends.
-I assume that there was a real threat, otherwise why would they escape?
-How can you make this assumption, when she herself says there was no threat-
-and that she isn't a victim of this network?
-But there were people with her. You have to discuss this with Bella's Friends.
-Your assumption is that the threat was real, even though she herself denies this?
-Yes, because I don't think it is something you would just make up.
"Hey, let's escape! Sounds like a nice idea!" I don't think that is credible.
Of course there must have been a threat.
Otherwise they wouldn't have escaped.
-So you believe in their stories of satanist networks?
-Yes, I find them credible.
ROKS believes that Bella's Friends made the correct judgement, despite Caroline's protests.
According to Lena Widding Hedin, this is due to a more general view of women's vulnerability.
At the shelter where she was active, she was often surprised at how women were received.
-She wouldn't listen to what they told her about their situation. �
