A new documentary by Al Jazeera, alleging that Sweden removes children from families on flimsy grounds, is stirring controversy as it targets Swedish audiences on social media.

The documentary, part of Al Jazeera's AJ360 initiative, has reached over 50,000 Swedes through Facebook and Instagram ads.

Critics, including Swedish politicians, argue that the film echoes the disinformation spread by the LVU campaign, which falsely claimed that Swedish authorities kidnap Muslim children.

The documentary has been criticized for not including perspectives from the children or their representatives and for omitting details of the investigations that led to the children's removal.

Social services in Linköping and Norrköping express concerns that this could reignite misinformation campaigns, complicating their efforts to support families.

They emphasize the importance of accurate information about the role of social services in protecting children.
