The Minister of Social Services on the Tim case: “Completely unacceptable”

Watch the documentary “Mission: Foxtrot” here.

Recently, the investigation “Children and young people in society’s care” was submitted to the government. There are 130 proposals for measures to improve the care of children.

Work that the government has already begun, according to Social Services Minister Camilla Waltersson Grönvall (M).

– If a number of the tools that the government is now working with had been in place a long time ago, I think we could have stopped this development with children and young people being recruited into criminal networks a long time ago, she says.

15 different case managers

SVT Nyheter has reviewed the efforts of the social service for 16-year-old Tim, who was recruited into the gang war. He was moved eleven times in two years and had contact with at least 15 different social service workers.

– Every single child who is in this situation is of course a failure for society, says Camilla Waltersson Grönvall.
