“The sharp increase of oroslarm on the children”
“In Mariestad, the number of cases of concerns for children and young people increased by over 80 per cent – in just two years.”
“– If this reflects the fact that society is becoming more insecure, there is definitely a reason for concern, says the individual and familjeomsorgschef Anette Karlsson, Mariestad Magazine. “
“In 2018, received a total of 973 cases to the social services in Mariestad, compared with 535 cases in 2016. 58 per cent of the cases concerned children between 0-12 years.”
“Anette Karlsson believes that the increase is due to several factors. Among other points, she increased media attention to child maltreatment.”
“We have worked consciously to try to wash away the skrämselstämpeln – that the social services would be anything dangerous,” she says to Mariestad Magazine.”
“the Result of the increase in the number of cases has led to a large burden for the social services. The government has therefore appointed state funds for the strengthening of children and ungdomssidan. With the help of the resources you have in Mariestad hired two new social workers since 2016.”
