What follows is a crazy story about an American family's escape from Sweden as the Swedish social services were closing in to seize their four kids. In talking with friends and acquaintances, they were warned to get out without delay. Get out that very night if possible. It turns out that that was good advice.

This is the story of how I nearly lost everything to activist Swedish Social Services. In 2017, my family and I were living in Sweden. I had lived there before as a single man. We thought it was the safe, stable, open society everyone in the West keeps praising.
What happened instead nearly destroyed us. I am a former Marine with a couple combat deployments to Afghanistan (this detail matters) and was part of Marine Corps Forces European Command in Germany. I worked for Amazon Web Services with a Nordic focus, staged in Stockholm.
I managed teams across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland.
We lived in the countryside, paid taxes, followed every rule. We even insisted on speaking the local language.
We tried to be the ideal expat family.
Then the Swedish social services system turned its eyes on my family.
