A 14-year-old boy in southern Sweden has been taken into the care of social services.
The security police put him on the radar for plans for a “very serious crime”.
According to Säpo, the teenager must have a fixation on weapons, war and violent religion.
The 14-year-old is placed in a Sis home after the administrative court decided earlier in July that he should be taken into care according to the LVU, the Act on care of young people. The verdict is now being appealed to the Court of Appeal.
From the public parts, it appears that the Security Police investigated the 14-year-old and that he is suspected of having planned “a very serious crime.”
The social welfare board in the boy’s home municipality wrote in the LVU application that the boy “will continue to have inappropriate contacts over the internet and will also have difficulty breaking the unhealthy fixation on weapons, war and violent religion that has been brought to the attention of the Security Police”. Something the administrative court called alarming and stated that “he consumes a lot
a lot of material depicting real violence.”
Contact with unknown people: “Discussed acts of violence”
According to the investigation, “a lot of material has been found in his phone and on his social media”. In the decision, the authority wrote that it “is not appropriate for such a young person to consume such large amounts of that type of material. It also cannot be good for (the 14-year-old) to have contact with unknown people at such a young age and discuss acts of violence over the Internet.”
The 14-year-old himself has stated that the alleged crime plan was just a joke and that he did not intend to carry it out.
“The administrative court sees no reason to believe that the information provided by the Security Police and the police is incorrect. Regardless of whether (the 14-year-old) meant the planning as a joke, he must have spent a lot of time and thought on it,” writes the court.
The documents do not indicate when or how the crime would take place. The security police do not want to comment on the case, according to press secretary Fredrik Hulgren-Friberg.
TV4 Nyheterna has sought the boy’s representative, who does not want to make any comments.
