The small community of Ljusdal is reeling after revelations of sexual abuse at a local preschool.

A former employee is accused of abusing nine young girls, sparking fear and anger among parents.

Despite previous complaints about inappropriate behavior, no warnings were flagged.

The accused, once nominated for "Sweden's Best Childcare Worker," worked alone with children, raising questions about oversight.

Psychiatrist Cecilia Dhejne notes the difficulty in spotting warning signs, as such individuals often appear caring.

Ljusdal's officials are now reviewing policies to prevent future incidents, emphasizing the need for community vigilance.
