Pappa misstänks ha fört bort sina barn – nu faller domen

Ingen vet hur många barn som varje år olovligen förs utomlands av den ena vårdnadshavaren, men en rapport visar på stora brister i hanteringen av fallen.

I Västsverige står en pappa åtalad för att ha kidnappat sina tre barn under en semesterresa till Irak.

– Antalet barnbortföranden ökar. Nu måste man agera med krafttag och ta varningarna på allvar, säger barnens försvarsadvokat Jessica Sandberg.

– När det gäller ärenden med hederskultur där familje- och släktmedlemmar kan gå mycket långt för att skada mamma och barn måste man agera tidigt och ta varningssignalerna på allvar. Det behövs ett helhetsgrepp för att stärka barnets rätt och skydd. Socialtjänsten behöver stärkas upp och riskbedömningar i umgängestvister måste tas på ett större allvar. Man behöver även se över lagstiftning så att åklagare i större utsträckning kan driva ärendena, och frågan om kontaktförbud borde ses över.

– Det här är ett stort problem, större än vad de flesta tror, och det splittrar familjer, säger hon.

Barnkidnappning – Förälder för barnen ut ur landet

Mamman ville inte att barnen skulle få träffa sin pappa och hon hade flera gånger kommit på oanmälda besök. Han hade fått ringa polisen flera gånger. Han förstod att något var på gång men hoppades att det bara var en oro som han inte skulle behöva få bekräftad.

Five years have passed and far too little has happened, according to the relatives

Sweden must give terror victims the same redress as other European countries do. That's what relatives of the victims of the terrorist attack on Drottninggatan say.

A recognition as a victim of terror.

They want Sweden to do like several other European countries France, Belgium and Great Britain and set up a terror fund. There is the possibility of receiving support, not least financially, regardless of what happens in a court. Aid linked to being a recognized victim of a terrorist attack.
