On Monday, October 7, a father of a small child was shot through a window in his home in Malmö. The suspect is a 16-year-old boy who is cared for according to LVU and who in recent years has been placed in Sis, HVB homes and family homes.
Deviations have become commonplace
It is just one in a series of young people who have recently been suspected of serious violent crimes, murder, attempted murder and explosions in connection with being in the community’s care. No authority has statistics on how common it is, but police officers that SVT has spoken to say that it is now commonplace.
The very question of HVB homes has become highly relevant in connection with a police report which established that organized crime has eaten into the companies on the HVB market.
Ivo fails his mission
And now the chairman of Sweden’s municipalities and regions directs sharp criticism at the supervisory authority Ivo.
– The situation is extremely, extremely serious, based on the fact that it is criminal activity that operates and exists in our HVB homes, which is completely unacceptable, says SKR chairman Anders Henriksson (S).
– Our view today is that Ivo is not up to his task, the Authority needs to be strengthened. This means that they need to do more unannounced inspections. They need to speed up their processes and provide us with information as soon as they discover something.
Supervision after publication
SVT has previously reported that the companies still had their permits – and placed children – a month after the police released the report. It was only the day after the publication that Ivo started inspection cases on several homes run by companies on the list.
Tommy Hansen, deputy general manager of Ivo, has declined an interview but is participating in Aktuellt tonight.
