Guess who is going to end up paying the 25,000? If his parents don't cough up, the taxpayers will foot the bill via Brottsoffermyndigheten.
A "charge" of 500? What's that, a weeks pocket money? Risible!
Probation, we all know what that amounts to in Sweden.
If this kid is already into child porn at the age of 16, he will pose a serious threat to children as an adult. For the rest of his life, unless he is locked up or kept under GPS surveillance.
again punishment does not fit the crime.
tax-payers!!!!! all the time. when his time comes,he will pay too. everyone is going to pay tax except the sick and the segregated people.
Couldn't disagree more with you. There's quite a bit of difference between 10-13 year-olds and a 16 y.o. This isn't the same as a 26 y.o. man and a 20-23 y.o. woman. If the girls were of age 16 or older, then your comments might have some validity, especially since he wasn't trying to hide his intent; however, such isn't the case and the punishment is very light for the crime.
