The Administrative Court of Appeal upheld the compulsory care order for Leo, following the majority line of the social committee. In the ruling, the court wrote that Malin does not understand why Leo was taken into care and that she has had too little contact with her son. Two lay judges in the court noted that the assessment of Malin was affected by the incorrect intellectual disability diagnosis. Malin's lawyer Fredrika Kamme plans to appeal the ruling.
A prosecutor has initiated a preliminary investigation into suspected misconduct by the social services in Malin's case. The social secretaries working on the case have been replaced, and the municipality has started external investigations, including one into this specific matter. The Social Administration is being reorganized, with managers required to reapply for their jobs. Administrative head Patrik Jonsson said the reorganization has been planned for a long time.
What is it that I lack, that I don't lack with little brother and all the other children?
Malin and her husband Gustav have had a second son, with Leo's real name being different to protect privacy.
I actually don't understand how they reason.
This is a remarkable case. The contact has been increased, and it has worked very well. There are also no care deficiencies with Malin.
