I know the government's parental custody breaking involves pulling the three kids from their two parents. About the home, it's a matter of the home's actual count of bedrooms, not about belief. Three or fewer bedrooms for a family of five in the home puts into doubt any kind of insinuation that the kids were locked away from each other for four months. You're free to try to get the home's floor plan, as Sweden makes it very easy to get that stuff too at the local level as well.

Also, the whole thing about the front door being boarded up with planks or whatever ignores the fact that the family needed to get food and other supplies and weren't doing that all via a window for four months. The government and the other government-retained parties should have thrown in the "the parents were setting up a fire hazard for the kids and themselves" whom they wanted to spare from Covid-19 in Sweden. But I can tell you that too is like selling a bridge to Brooklyn, something the Swedish government seems to sell to its public very easily when its convenient to the driving elements of Swedish society. A huge proportion of homes in Sweden only have one door to enter/exit the home to get out of the buildings. Fire escapes in Sweden? Pitiful. Sort of like the government's coronavirus response in Sweden. Sort of ironic given how extremely safety conscious Sweden prides itself on being safety conscious.
