The Swedish Social Welfare Department – SOCIAL seized two children from a Palestinian family from Syria.<\/p>\n
SOCIAL staff members withheld the kids of the Palestinian refugees Mohamed Fuad al-Khatib and his wife Safaa AlMawed. The parents were also held at a police station for three days.<\/p>\n
\u201c40 days after the mother gave birth to Sham, the latter was transferred to a clinic after she kept crying nonstop,\u201dthe family said. \u201cMedics said she was doing well. However the toddler kept crying ceaselessly.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs time passed by we noticed that Sham starts to cry as soon as she moves her hand back and forth. Medical check-ups diagnosed the child with a mild elbow fracture. Shortly afterwards, the doctor reached out to SOCIAL and the Swedish police, accusing her parents of neglect,\u201dthe family added.<\/p>\n
SOCIAL staff seized the kids and detained the parents for three days.<\/p>\n
\u201cI delivered my newborn just 40 days ago and badly need rest. They locked me up in a cold room and when I asked for a blanket they just refused. Every time I inquire about the situation of my husband and children the answer is \u201d\u02dcwe don’t know,’\u201dthe mother stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police released us but did not return our children on claims of underway court procedures. How can a 40-day-old toddler survive away from her mother’s arm?\u201dsaid the mother.<\/p>\n
Activists dubbed the incident \u201ca crime\u201dand lashed out at SOCIAL for withholding the children. The Swedish police aggressively disbanded a rally staged outside SOCIAL office chief to protest the move.<\/p>\n
