Swedish mothers rage against balcony flasher

A man in Sandviken in central Sweden has been warned by authorities on two occasions for masturbating naked on his balcony, a fact that is making local mothers demand his eviction.
- Afghan refugees break hunger strike in Boden (13 May 13)
- Ambulance driver said 'let the refugee jump': witness (22 Mar 13)
- Burning goat tattoos arouse police suspicion (19 Dec 12)
The mothers organized a petition against the nude balcony masturbator and gathered 400 signatures demanding the man should be forced to move out of his rented apartment.
Mats Johansson at Sandvikenhus, the alleged flasher’s landlord, told the paper that they are working to solve the situation in a way that will be in the interest of all parties.
“To evict someone isn’t always the best solution. Wherever they live they could go and flash children at some playground,” he told GD.
However, Johansson also said that it would be hard for the landlord to keep the man on as a tenant if he flashes people from his balcony.
The mothers are scared that the man will prove to be a threat to the local children. But according to Johansson, he has spoken to the man’s psychiatric support staff and they are adamant that he doesn’t have any such tendencies.
However, the local mothers are not happy with these assurances.
“Flashers need to get care and we need to protect our children,” one said to the paper.

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...
