| Notes | Digitalfil. |
| Grounds for decision | Framställningen innehåller inslag av uppslitande stämning, en man som utsätts för hån och trakasserier, en man som får ett bouleklot i huvudet, högljudda gräl samt oroväckande sjukhusscener vilket kan medföra oro och förvirring och bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn under 11 år. |
