How Could You? Hall of Shame-Sweden-Foster Care

This will be an archive of heinous actions by those involved in child welfare, foster care and adoption. We forewarn you that these are deeply disturbing stories that may involve sex abuse, murder, kidnapping and other horrendous actions.

From Sollentuna, Sweden, a 61-year-old foster father has been sentenced to eight years in prison for rape, child pornography and sexual molestation of his 4-and 6-year-old foster children.

“The man confessed to possessing child porn, which he at times showed to the young victims while he masturbated.
He also photographed some of his own sexual crimes. ”

“The court said in a statement that the man’s behaviour was “particularly reckless” as he had taken advantage of the children’s defenselessness.
Meanwhile, the 61-year-old’s lawyer believes the punishment is unreasonably harsh. [Death would not be harsh enough for this man!]
“I think eight years is far too long, so I’m recommending that he appeals the whole thing,” Palle Källström told TT.
The two children will receive 375,000 kronor ($56,200) in damages.”
