\n Two paranoid parents in Sweden locked away their three kids in separate rooms for four months \u2014 and even nailed the front door shut \u2014 to protect them from catching the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The extreme measures began in March, when the outbreak first hit the Scandinavian nation and the parents yanked their kids out of school, the Telegraph reported.<\/p>\n

A civil court in southern Sweden found that the couple, originally from Vietnam, kept the children \u2014 two girls ages 17 and 15 and a boy, 10 \u2014 in isolation until July 9.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when authorities found them isolated in separate rooms, where they continued their school work online.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parents even nailed planks over the front door and there has even been isolation within the family, where the children had to stay in their rooms, even eating there,\u201d the court said.<\/p>\n

The court ruled last week that the parents\u2019 \u201cpsychological ill health and fear for COVID-19 had led to serious failings in the care for their children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mikael Svegfors, a lawyer for the children, said the parents panicked when Sweden refused to implement an official lockdown \u2014 with the country instead stressing personal responsibility to fight the outbreak and opting to strive for herd immunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t really understand Swedish and they rather relied on news<\/a>casts over the internet from their own country,\u201d he said. \u201cOver there, they shut down whole cities, and they got scared, and they said \u2018we need to protect our family.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Svegfors said the children, who speak fluent Swedish, kept in contact with friends and teachers online and had access to their iPads and phones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey tried to talk to their parents but this didn\u2019t work, and of course they knew that all their school friends were allowed outside,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The parents denied keeping their kids under lock and key, saying they were allowed to leave if they wanted to \u2014 a claim refuted by their eldest child.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result of the parents\u2019 fear, the social services have had difficulty cooperating with them,\u201d the court said. \u201cFrom the hearing, it seems that they continue to have an ambivalent attitude to letting the children leave home to go, for example, to school.\u201d<\/p>\n

The children were placed with a foster family and returned to school earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Svegfors said they\u2019ll be allowed to see their parents as much as they want and a decision on their foster care will be made in six months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey still want to be with their parents,\u201d he said. \u201cThey just said, \u2018we need to concentrate on our school work, and we want to be able to play with our friends. But as soon as this corona pandemic is over we want to return to our family.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Sweden recorded 51,405 deaths between January and June \u2014 the highest number of fatalities in the first half of the year in the country since 1869, when the nation was struck by famine.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
