WorkWe only learnt of our son?s secret online life after he died at 20 - It is the summer of 1989 and a Norwegian couple return from hospital cradling their newborn son. Their names are Robert and Trude Steen, this is their first child and they have named him Mats. The early weeks pass in the delirious, hormone-flooded fug of new parenthood, Robert documenting his son’s wriggles and cries on his camcorder with a new-found paternal pride that has left him dumbfounded.
