The Administrative Court dismissed the mother's appeal to terminate the child's care and placement in foster care. The social committee had continued the measure due to the child's attachment to the new environment and the stable upbringing provided by the foster parents. The court ruled that ending the care would contradict the child's best interests given the established bond and stability.

Socialnämnd beslöt fortsätta omhändertagandet av 10-årigt

barn och placera barnet i fosterhem. Modern yrkade att

socialnämndens beslut upphävs, eftersom hennes hemförhållanden

numera var oklanderliga. Länsrätten, som anställde muntlig

förhandling i målet, förkastade besvären med beaktande av

att barnet redan fäst sig vid sin nya miljö, det stabiliserade

uppväxtförhållandet och det goda förhållandet mellan barnet

och vårdarna utom hemmet. Avslutandet av omhändertagandet

ansågs med hänsyn härtill strida mot barnets bästa.

20 § L om barnskydd.
