The family has nothing bad to say about the staff. They did everything they could, says a close relative according to SVT Västerbotten.

The course of events unfolded quickly, the relative explains, who does not think the preschool did anything wrong. The person hopes, however, that the accident will start a discussion about how large the children's groups are allowed to be, and the family wants to ban reflective vests on the country's preschools.

It's a system failure and reflective vests must be banned on preschool premises, and there must always be a staff member present at playground equipment, says the relative.

It was on Thursday afternoon that the boy was seriously injured on the playground outside the preschool. On Monday, the news came that the boy had passed away. The police are investigating the incident as causing another person's death, but there is no suspect.
