In Sweden it isn\u2019t very common that people go round suing each other. But Monday this week the incident about the girl with a chromosome disorder who wasn\u2019t let into the ball room due to \u201csafety reasons\u201d according to (Malm\u00f6\u2019s) IKEA manager, was brought up again. The 5-year old girl was not allowed into the ball room which only had 2 other children playing in it, even though the mother offered to come inside too, as the adult responsible for the child. The staff at IKEA say they do not make judgements on the children\u2019s communicative ability, even though in this case the seem to have done so.<\/p>\n
This incident has been on the news, discussed in school classes all round Sweden and has in general upset a lot of people I think. To me, this gives a picture of what Sweden is like. What Swedes (or at least some of them) get worked up about. The fact that this story got a lot of attention on the news indicates something too I think.<\/p>\n
Even though IKEA offered the family 20 000 Swedish crowns, the family have declined the offer and are proceeding to sue IKEA because they feel that the girls rights were totally violated and the way they were treated was completely unacceptable.<\/p>\n
