Three children in Sweden were sent to foster care after their parents took radical measures in an effort to protect them from the coronavirus.
The court ruled that the parents’ “psychological ill health and fear for COVID-19 had led to serious failings in the care for their children.”
The parents withdrew their three children from school in March as the coronavirus pandemic took hold in Europe. The children were isolated in separate rooms, and wooden planks were nailed over the front door of the family’s apartment in an effort to keep COVID-19 out of the home.
