I have read reports that in Finland the Africans take all the child grants from the household and the mother has to go to the social services to get more. Nothing is done about it, they just pay up

Taxpayers have to pay children's clothing when immigrants put the grants on other

Domestic. Despite the high contributions, many children lack in ghetto areas of winter and rainwear – because the parents burn the grants on other things. Now the kindergartens have begun to provide children with the necessary clothes as part of their "compensatory work," Expressen reports. A bet you pay

When the grant to preschool was raised, the so-called child allowance, preschools were commissioned in vulnerable areas to strengthen their "compensorial work". This means that taxpayers should compensate children from the third world because their parents are from the third world, in different ways.

One result is that loan clothes are now purchased for preschools where the need is judged greatest. The municipal councillor Blerta Hoti Singh (S) explains that the measure aims to ensure the children's presence.

At a preschool in Lövgärdet, the children are absent when the weather is cold and wet, because many families lack proper outerwear, Expressen reports.

The principal Fia Neldemo tells the newspaper that cultural differences come into play and that some parents claim straight out that they "can't afford" with clothes for the children.

“But we work a lot to get the children to preschool, we have a huge assignment with language and communication and our children need to become part of Swedish society,” she told Expressen.

After the attention, private individuals have contacted us to offer clothes, but Neldemo believes that the preschool administration needs to solve the needs structured and long-term.

The Education Act describes the preschool’s compensatory mission as “countering inequalities and equalizing differences in children’s conditions, so that all children have equal opportunities to develop and learn” regardless of whether their parents are of the responsible type or prefer to place responsibility for their children on taxpayers. In short, the law means that taxpayers, when the latter is the case, should bear double the cost.
