Children were searched naked before visiting a prison

It is a huge betrayal of a child who is already in a vulnerable situation, says Children's Ombudsman Juno Blom to P4 Kalmar .

The mother describes to the radio that it was against the children's will to strip naked and that it had a negative impact on them. Together with the father, she has filed both a police report and a complaint with the Swedish Ombudsman (JO).

The local correctional officer says that sometimes there can be special reasons for doing what is called a superficial body search and that the regulations do not differentiate between children and adults. The incident will be investigated.
