"This was then followed by a reading of compensation claims by the children’s lawyer, where they are claiming between 50,000 krona and 62, 000 krona (around (around RM25,000 to RM50,000)."In other words, Swedish authorities have appointed a lawyer for the children, one who - as is usual in Swedish child protection cases - treats the children and the parents as adversaries, and who through compensation claims confirms the picture painted by the authorities: that the parents have seriously abused and more or less terrorised the children.

It may of course be unexpected in Sweden that anyone shows the least bit of spine up against the Swedish social dictatorship and their favourite activity of exploding families. Here, too, we have a lawyer
acting for two of the children, who expresses himself in this way!:
"– Jag tycker man hade kunnat undvika att ha elva personer på plats. Det kan faktiskt påverka situationen i rättssalen, med tanke på vittnesförhör och liknande, säger Johan Kallus, som är advokat för två av barnen." (I think one could have avoided having all of eleven persons present. It can of course affect the situation in the court room, in view of witness testimony etcetera, says Johan Kallus, who represents two of the children.)
Oh yes, of course, he probably means the state's witnesses, and the state's witnesses must be shown the greatest possible consideration. The parents, on the other hand, were led into the court room handcuffed! We are used to something like this in Norway too: In child protection related cases the child protection officers and their helpers are always the martyrs who must be considered, and parents are the ones to be belittled. In fact, I think precisely this kind of behaviour on the part of the state and their helpers may be a sign that the state does not have all than much in the way of
real proof to present? Of course they are not used to being required to present real proof, they are used to win their cases against families because they "represent the unrivalled welfare state".
Maybe Malaysians put family lover higher than the Swedes do?
