Hong Kong couple's challenge to daughter's guardianship in Sweden rejected

A Swedish court has dismissed a legal challenge by a Hong Kong couple seeking to regain guardianship of their four-year-old daughter, Lily. The court ruled that the social welfare administration's reviews are not subject to judicial challenges, and the parents must await a formal decision. Lily has been living with foster parents since May 2024, and welfare authorities are seeking to transfer her legal guardianship to them, citing the parents' lack of receptivity to their daughter's best interests.
