In Storumans municipality, children living more than 2 kilometers from a designated pickup point are granted school transport, while 6-year-old Hjalmar has been deemed to live too close. The municipality's solution is to have him walk approximately 900 meters to the Forsmark E12 stop to be picked up by the school transport, an arrangement criticized by his mother. She argues that this route, which follows a European road with a speed limit of 90 km/h, is not safe for a child.

Hjalmar's parents have appealed the decision to the administrative court, which recognized the dangers of walking along the E12 but ruled that he lives too close to the pickup point according to the municipality's rules. This has led to significant frustration for his family, who feel that both the court and the municipality have made erroneous assessments regarding child safety in this context.

Johanna Sundin, Hjalmar's mother, invites local politicians to experience the journey firsthand along the road to engage in a discussion about safety and appropriate measures. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges parents face in ensuring the safety of their children amid bureaucratic regulations and raises important questions about the adequacy of current policies in protecting vulnerable populations like young children in transit.
