Though the hook is cited in the intro, remember that all information on the intro has to be cited elsewhere in the body paragraphs of an article, per WP:LEAD. The 'History' section says that Toftes Gave had children from 1844 to 1947, but it gives no reference to any "maladapted children." Please go back and cite this information before the article can pass. Thank for you work on this one! ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 19:16, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the review. I have suggested an ALT1 hook below. The institution was obviously organized for enforced placement of "difficult" children, whether this was trigged by their own "maladjusted" behaviour, or in certain cases the behaviour of their parents. The institution was originally called a "rescuing institution for morally corrupt children" (of both sexes), and later "skolehjem" (for boys only). The legal provisions changed over the years, as did the terminology as well as the norms of the society. I could not find a direct citation for the full original hook, and therfore try the simplified ALT1 hook. Oceanh (talk) 11:41, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
