The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the use of a child's voice recorded by the social services board in legal proceedings. The court found that the child's voice was necessary to establish facts regarding the child's well-being and that the recording was obtained lawfully. Consequently, the court ruled that the evidence was admissible despite the child's age, balancing the need for factual accuracy against the child's rights.
