The violent film began to spread shortly after the murder, on social media such as X, Tiktok, and Snapchat. The clip has also gained international spread, where a British tabloid has published parts of it.
TV personality Nadim Ghazale, a former police officer and now CEO of nattvandring.nu, received the film on Friday morning from his son.
It was a new phenomenon for me, partly because he is ahead of me and partly because it is he who alerts me to it. If it has reached him, it has reached other children, says Ghazale, who has posted a post on Instagram where he alerts other adults to the spread.
Like a CV
He says that this type of film has become more common and serves as marketing for criminals.
It becomes a kind of CV, a window out for the "industry" where you show what you're capable of. You can use it when you want to get a job or show how tough you are.
The value is obviously higher than the increased risk of getting caught that the spread entails, he notes.
When it comes to his son, Ghazale says he tries to ask open questions and is careful not to blame.
I think you need to have a sensitivity to what the children answer and pick up on it from there, he says.
Talk Proactively
It's partly that what they see is unpleasant, partly that they have questions about how to avoid getting more similar clips in their feeds. Since the algorithms work so that if you've watched something, you'll be offered more of it.
She also emphasizes the importance of not blaming, and thinks that as an adult, you should talk proactively if you have children with social media, or if their friends have it.
Tell them that you know this is something that's spreading now and that it's unpleasant to see. Ask the child if they've seen it and their thoughts, feelings, and questions about things that are scary, she says.
For some children, it may be enough to talk about the clip once, while others may need to reason more deeply. If the child answers briefly, it can still be good for the adult to say that it's normal to be scared, or that the images get stuck in your head.
Saying the child doesn't say much, you've at least confirmed that what may be in the child is actually completely normal, says Angsell.
