The mistake of confusing the women was quickly discovered and then reported to the social services, which should not have investigated the incident.

Then the confusion between the men occurred.

The lex Sarah investigation shows that the administrator who sent the child investigation to the wrong father, as SVT reported earlier, did not check the social security numbers when the name was correct.

The men live in different municipalities.

Insecurity after the incident

The mother of the child feels insecure after the incident when information about her child has been revealed to another person.

She does not know if and how much the person has read about her children and their family situation.

The mother also states that she has not received her own copy of the incorrectly sent investigation and wonders if more letters have been addressed incorrectly.

"Catastrophic"

The social services in Älvsbyn state in their letter to the Swedish Health and Care Inspectorate (Ivo) that they have taken measures, safer routines, so that what happened will not happen again.

In the lex Sarah investigation, the municipality's social director writes that what has happened is catastrophic, but that the risk of it happening again is considered small, which also means that it could happen every month.

By weighing the severity of the consequence and the probability that it will happen again, the incident is judged to be a serious misconduct according to Lex Sarah.
