This should not be allowed to happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She argued that Swedish society has been too naive and called for increased diligence from employers, especially within the education system, to thoroughly screen the backgrounds of potential employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She emphasizes the need to collaborate more between the police, social services, and schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe authorities need to work together.
