Sweden is grappling with a disturbing trend where criminal gangs recruit children to carry out violent acts, including bombings.
These gangs openly post "job offers" on social media platforms, targeting young people with promises of money.
Experts describe this as a "world-unique problem," with children being lured into dangerous activities far from their homes.
Despite police efforts to intercept these young recruits, gangs quickly adapt by posting new offers.
Legal experts are calling for updated anti-terror laws to address this alarming issue and curb the exploitation of minors.
The situation highlights the urgent need for stronger measures to protect vulnerable youth from falling into criminal networks.
