"I’ll never stop fighting": One father’s vow to rescue his daughters from state care Christian father Daniel Samson warns other families about Sweden
“I’ll never stop fighting”: One father’s vow to rescue his daughters from state care
Christian father Daniel Samson warns other families about Sweden’s child welfare system after losing all contact with his children and facing a permanent separation.
On December 2, 2022, Swedish Social Services removed two young girls — Sara and Tiana Samson — from their classroom in Hässleholm, Sweden, based on a school report alleging physical discipline at home. Within days, Sara confessed to police on video that her allegations were fabricated. She had been under pressure from a school dispute and a minor household conflict. The Swedish police completed their investigation and closed the criminal case with no charges filed against the parents. That should have been the end. It was only the beginning.
What Has Happened Since
• Despite the criminal case being dropped, the Swedish state has kept Sara (14) and Tiana (13) in foster care for over three years — in different homes, hundreds of kilometres apart from each other and 500–700 km from their parents.
• When physical abuse was disproven, authorities shifted: the family’s Christian faith — including church attendance three times a week — was labeled “religious extremism” in official documents. The children’s Bibles and Christian music were confiscated, declared “violent.”
• Sara has attempted suicide seven times while in Swedish state care. She has fled foster placements three times trying to return to her parents. Her weight has gone from 71 kg to 120 kg — a documented sign of severe psychological trauma.
• Sara and Tiana are exclusively Romanian citizens. The Romanian government has formally demanded their repatriation. Multiple Romanian parliamentary delegations have traveled to Sweden. Sweden has refused.
• On March 10, 2026, Swedish authorities imposed a total ban on all communication between the girls and their family — and initiated a process to change their legal identities, erasing their Romanian heritage.
• The European Court of Human Rights declared the case inadmissible on March 10, 2026, closing the Strasbourg route. The therapists appointed as part of the Swedish child welfare intervention itself formally certified in writing that nothing in their work with the parents raised any concern about their fitness as parents. Sweden continues the separation anyway.
