Parents in Värnamo are outraged at the potential closure of the local 'nattis' (night-time childcare service), proposed by the Children's and Education Committee to save money.
The proposed pause, aiming to cut nearly two million kronor, has sparked backlash among families who rely on the service.
Jacqueline Wennersten, a single mother and night-shift nurse, fears losing her job if 'nattis' shuts down.
Despite a petition with 700 signatures, the committee argues that the need for such services has decreased, a claim disputed by 'nattis' staff.
Wennersten highlights the severe impact on family stability and children's well-being if the service is discontinued.
