The Swedish government has proposed a significant law amendment aimed at better protecting children from violent parents.

The change prioritizes a child's right to protection over the need for contact with both parents.

This move follows the tragic case of Tintin, an eight-year-old boy murdered by his father during a court-approved visitation.

The new law requires courts to seek expert psychological opinions in complex cases and allows for easier transfer of custody to foster parents.

The law is set to come into effect on January 1, 2025.
