Mother fights to regain custody after incorrect medical diagnoses
Key Points
  • Malin fights to regain custody after incorrect medical diagnoses led to compulsory care
  • Court upheld LVU despite healthcare retracting incorrect information, with social services failing to submit key evidence
  • Municipality investigating deviation, social secretary replaced, and questions about court's decision-making process

The Administrative Court upheld the LVU (Compulsory Care of Young Persons) order, ruling that Malin could not show the changes were 'comprehensive and lasting', even though healthcare retracted the incorrect information that was part of the basis for the care. After the ruling, Malin's social secretary called to say they had not submitted all documents to the court, including a psychologist's certificate, several certificates from Malin's colleagues at the preschool where she works, and one from her employer showing she is a security for the children there. Malin's representative later submitted the missing certificates to the court.

The municipality is investigating the deviation, with administrative manager Patrik Jonsson writing in an email that some of the information was still included in the investigation that was part of the basis for the court, and that they have initiated an investigation of the deviation. Malin's social secretary has been replaced after the incident. Leo, whose real name is something else, currently has LVU in the home of his biological father.
