Swedish woman sentenced to prison for hiding her child in Thailand

[webfact]

A Swedish woman who took her child and ran away to Thailand two years ago has been sentenced to prison, Expressen writes citing Nya Wermlands-Tidningen.

 

The woman and the child’s father had been in a divisive custody dispute over the couple’s son since the child was born. A battle which the woman lost in 2019 and it was decided that the son should live with his father. But before the district court’s decision had time to be enforced, the woman disappeared with the child. Later it turned out that she had brought the child to Thailand.

 

The woman was arrested in Thailand in January for reportedly overstaying her visa and deported back to Sweden.

If she was deported to Sweden, how can the Thai court sertence her to jail?
Will the Thai Court ask Sweden nicelly to bring the woman back to Thailand?
Samoe as the Thai courts are asking Interpol to bring the young lad in a Ferrari back to Thailand?

The report isn't too clear .

Was the Father Swedish or Thai and did she just choose to go to Thailand to escape Swedish justice ?

   After reading the report, its seems like the Swedish couple had a disagreement in Sweden and the Mother fled Sweden with the Child to go to Thailand and thats Thailands only connection to this story

For goodness sake try harder before you write something for the whole world to read on the internet. Even if using an assumed anonymous web ID, make an effort and have some pride in what you write.

 

1) She was not sentenced to jail in Thailand and this is not mentioned anywhere in OP or linked article. This would take approximately 10 seconds to understand.

”The woman was arrested in Thailand in January for reportedly overstaying her visa and deported back to Sweden. Upon arrival, she was placed in custody and has now been sentenced to one year and three months in prison for taking the child to Thailand and for benefit violations. ”

2) ?? No <deleted> idea what you are talking about, she is jailed in Sweden.

3) Zzz Red Bull. Because 1 & 2 are so off the topic, you have mistakenly brought Red Bull into it which has zero relevance.

The linked article seems to be implying the child is with the father now.

Quite explicit, actually "The father has now been given sole custody of the child."

Well, he was also given custody prior to that but the child was in Thailand with the mother...

“Has now been given sole custody” to be exact. 
 

Do I think the child is with the father?

Yes. 
 

Does it say so?

No.
