A Palestinian refugee woman said the Social Services Office in Sweden, known as “Socialstyrelsen” has interned her 13-year-old girl since October 13, 2020 on claims that the mother believes in extremist doctrines.
The mother reached Sweden some four years ago. Two years later, her four children joined her from Syria. Her child was suddenly driven out of the school and interrogated by social services officers. A court issued a verdict to intern the child over unconfirmed allegations.
The mother has been accused of manipulating her child in reference to the pieces of advice she has been giving her.
“All I did was that I’ve been advising my child not to go out with delinquents due to increasing reports of drug consumption. Every culture has its own red lines”, the mother said.
She added that her daughter is having a normal life and practicing sports activities, including swimming. She has garnered good school results.
“I fled war-torn Syria to Sweden seeking a safer shelter and a dignified life for my children”, the mother said. “We, people of the Middle East, are subjected to all forms of discrimination and stereotyping. We are denied our right to live freely”.
The mother, who has not seen her daughter for nearly a year, confirmed that the allegations are counterfeit and that claims that she has been involved in violence against her child are just groundless.
