The government wants to force parents to take responsibility for their children at risk. Minister of Social Services Camilla Waltersson Grönvall (M) today presented a proposal for a new law that gives social services the right to issue fines to parents who refuse to accept assistance for their children. – All children in Sweden have the right to the conditions for a safe upbringing, but then parents must also contribute, she says.
