In the review, Expo has mapped users on both open and closed online forums where young boys are radicalised and inspire each other to commit acts of violence.

Despite the fact that several of the active members of the forums have been sentenced to juvenile detention for carrying out or planning deadly school attacks, they have been given free access to the internet at the Sis homes where they have been placed.

One example is the 15-year-old in Eslöv who was sentenced to two and a half years in juvenile detention after he stabbed a teacher at a school in August 2021. Despite the fact that the boy was judged by the police to be an ideologically motivated violent extremist, he was given free access to the internet and continues to be a key player in the forums where school attacks are glorified.

Inspires and helps

From inside the Sis home, he inspires and helps others plan attacks together with his 16-year-old friend who committed an attack in Kristianstad and an 18-year-old who in 2022 was convicted of planning a school shooting in the Stockholm area, according to the review.

Staff at Sis have previously sounded the alarm that young people sentenced to juvenile detention have been able to call, chat, and use the internet without monitoring or controlling what they are doing.
