Do we see all of our children?
Just a few days after the UN criticized Sweden presented two reports on the murder of Yara, stories that echo of grief.
The Swedish authorities are working slowly and methodically, and only in the last few weeks we have seen what conclusions can be drawn by an almost one year old murder on an eight year old girl .
The district court sentenced recently the woman who was set to nurture Yara to life in prison for the torture-like forms have killed a child in an argument in desperation shouted out questions not found any answers.
The story of a young child who was sent from Gaza to a peaceful country in another part of the world and whose silent suffering passed the relevant authorities have today also received a different kind of trades.
IVO, Inspectorate for Health Care, presented as on the social welfare committee in Karl shoes handled the girl’s arrival and orosanmälningarna made about her.
Despite the fact that Yara had experienced war and flight and came here alone she was considered not to have any special need of support. Nor were examined family who took care of her enough.
And the three orosanmälningarna who came in to socialen from people around her and the police did not lead to sufficient efforts.
Most fatal is the lack of formalities in respect of the last notification that the police faxed to a number that is no longer used.
“Deficits in social welfare board processing has contributed to the girl Yara Karl shoes did not get it the care she needed and was entitled, “notes IVO.
It is a horrific formulation, it means that the girl had probably been alive today if social services had sensible routines.
But including social workers are people and people make mistakes. Social services have carefully considered how it could go so horribly wrong, and has implemented changes that IVO finds sufficient.
Yes, we see all of our children?
Last week, the Committee on the Rights of the Child its first report on Sweden in five years. In strikingly strong language was worried experts from 18 countries including discrimination against immigrant children and for unaccompanied refugee children disappear from asylum centers.
Ivo presented its report at a press conference in Malmö. The same city where the police as late as yesterday put down an investigation of what appears to be a guard who beat a nine year old refugee boy.
Get similarities exist between Yara, the boy at Malmö Central and the UN report. But there is reason to wonder:
Do we really see all of our children?
A measure of civilization is our desire to protect those who can not be seen, those who have not heard, those who lack capacity to make their voice heard.
