Children who have been convicted of crime have increased the most - from only six cases in 2017, it has increased to 26 reports last year, says P4 Blekinge.

"It could be a child who has been abused, robbed or subjected to sexual abuse," Else-Mari Emilsson, who is the unit head of the investigation unit for children in Ronneby, tells P4 Blekinge.

Applies throughout Blekinge

The increase does not only apply to Ronneby. In Karlshamn, the number of concerns about children has almost doubled since 2015. Even in Olofström, the increase has been evident for two years. What is the reason for this? According to Else-Mari Emilsson, there are several reasons.

- The population has increased in eg. Ronneby, the number of children has increased. It also means that there will be more people who can be enrolled in the social service.

"Dentist reports"

Even other social functions report more.

- We are receiving notifications from dentists today. It wasn't that common before. We receive notifications from the health care and psychiatry, says Else-Mari Emilsson.
