As summer approaches, the Swedish police warn parents about criminal gangs targeting children for recruitment.
With fewer adult contacts during the break, children are more vulnerable to being lured into dangerous activities.
Criminal assignments for kids have become increasingly brutal, including violent acts ordered by foreign entities like Iran.
Parents should stay vigilant for signs like lying, new friends, or unexplained money and contact authorities if concerned.
Tight community vigilance and proactive communication are pivotal in preventing youth from falling prey to gang violence.
