Grounds for decision Framställningen innehåller inslag av hotfull och starkt uppslitande stämning med en flicka som förs bort mot sin vilja och misshandlas både fysiskt och psykiskt. Till exempel tvingas hon att klä av sig naken och förnedras av en grupp poliser, hotas till livet, blir inlåst samt hetsas av sin pappa att kasta sig utför ett stup vilket kan medföra stark rädsla och oro och bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn under 15 år.
