I thought such graphic and sexual natured behavior exposed towards children was a crime?
Had this been a pro feminist group, rather than a mothers group .... I am sure this man would have been hung by now and the law changed.
He has a support staff???? What, a flasher club or something?
I assume he has some sort of handicap and the "support staff" are people helping him get along.
If anything this would be to protect the guy from the Fathers of the neighbourhood children.
If anything drives me up the wall in this country its the whinge/complain but do nothing attitude.
Why don`t you do something instead of just complain?
Sweden is a truly odd society.
Great stuff folks, you must be what made this country great. Oh, wait...
