In Lövgärdet in Angered, the association Early Parental Support's cultural interpreters has long met parents who are worried that their children will be taken care of, and parents who believe that children's rights in Sweden mean that they can hardly set boundaries.

Cultural interpreters Nora Alshanat and Dahaba Mohamed talk about how it has the consequence regarding everything from parents not daring to limit screen time to saying no to children who want to go out late at night.

- The children threaten to call the police, says Nora Alshanat, who says that the children often have more knowledge of what applies in Sweden than the parents and that the parents therefore trust the children.

"Must also set boundaries"

The 17 cultural interpreters speak several different languages ​​and help parents with everything from conversations about child rearing to contact with authorities.

Dahaba Mohamed tells about parents she met who felt relieved when they understood that parents can say no to their children.

How can this image be spread?

- Many get the impression that it is the children who decide in Sweden, says Dahaba Mohamed, we say that the children have rights and as a parent you have to follow the rules, but parents must also set boundaries.

Is it not the parents' own responsibility to seek out the information?

- The parents obviously have a responsibility, but many are new in the country and do not know where to look for information, then they may need this help, says Nora Alshanat.

Met the fear for a long time

For them, the fear of the social services, and also of other activities such as school, preschool and police, is something they encountered long before the ongoing campaign against LVU and childcare.

However, the association feels that their work has been able to contribute to increased trust in the authorities - but now they are worried that the recent discussion about the social services will increase mistrust again.
