In December 2021, the social welfare board in the municipality submitted an application to the administrative court.

They wanted three out of four siblings on a farm in Halland to be taken care of immediately with the support of LVU.

The social services have in several investigations established that several of the children live "an isolated life".

The father refers to the Swedish constitutions and Article 8 of the European Convention, on the right to protection of private and family life.

He certifies that the parents take good care of the children and have the right to live as they wish, writes DN.

2-year-old does not have a social security number

The youngest, a 2-year-old girl born on the farm, is completely missing from the system.

She is not registered, does not have a social security number and birth certificate, reports DN.

"There is no evidence that the girl child exists, based on the fact that no one has seen her," writes an administrator at the social services in an investigation quoted by the newspaper.

In early March, the children were to be cared for.

But when police - including the task force - arrived at the farm, the family was no longer there.

According to the parents' representatives, they have gone underground.

Three other children

Three more children from another family live on the farm.

A girl of school age was taken into care in December 2021 with the support of LVU, writes DN.

She is now being cared for at home against the requirement that she go to school.

Her two younger siblings are not covered by the LVU decision because they do not have compulsory schooling.

DN's review shows that the municipality received a report of concern regarding the children as early as 2017. They will then repeatedly receive information about suspected care deficiencies.

But it was not until the autumn of 2021 that the social services began a comprehensive investigation.

- This concerns an individual matter and then there is secrecy, says the chairman of the social committee to the newspaper and does not want to comment on the municipality's actions.
