Malin Trygg inquired about other parents in similar situations through a post in a local Facebook group in Mariefred. The response to Malin Trygg's Facebook post was large and came quickly, indicating a great need among parents to find others in similar situations. She started a chat group where parents can share experiences with each other in connection with the initiative.
The parent network currently consists of about 30 parents who have children in Strängnäs municipality schools, both municipal and independent schools. SVT has previously reported that there is a shared responsibility for school attendance between parents, municipalities, and schools. Malin Trygg believes that schools and municipalities need to take greater responsibility for the issue of school attendance.

According to SVT Sörmland, Malin Trygg described that parents often hear that it is compulsory schooling, that they are breaking the law because they cannot get their child to school, and that schools and municipalities often miss that compulsory schooling goes both ways. She also noted that schools and municipalities need to take their responsibility that all students should have the opportunity to be in school, and as school is designed today, many children are obviously lost along the way.
