The justices of the Supreme Court of Sweden have finished the destruction of a family that was begun in their lower courts, rejecting an appeal of a ruling that permanently separated a young boy from his parents because he was being homeschooled.
"In a perfunctory order the Swedish Supreme Court rejected a desperate appeal by Christer and Annie Johansson, parents of Domenic Johansson, who was torn from his parents while minutes from takeoff on an international flight as the family prepared to move to India," said a report from the Home School Legal Defense Association, which along with a team from the Alliance Defending Freedom has been fighting on behalf of the family.

Michael Donnelly, HSLDA's director for international affairs, said the decision is reprehensible but characteristic of the Swedish court system's callousness.
"We are grateful for the many people who responded to our request to send letters to the court. We are heartbroken by the court's unwillingness to hear this case," he said. "How can anyone respect the Swedish justice system that allows this kind of injustice to go unheard."
Donnelly vowed that the fight will continue.
"How can we give up?" he asked. "The fact that both Johanssons have survived after nearly four years without their only child is a testimony to their faith and hope. We will leave no stone unturned in helping this family plead their case, but there are few courts left to which they can turn. We ask our friends and supporters to keep this family and their legal team in their thoughts and prayers."
He said some may wish to ask the court to reconsider their decision. The family's lawyers are also reviewing other legal procedures that may be available to request reconsideration or to take the case to the European Court of Human Rights.
WND has reported on the case from its beginning, when Domenic was seized by armed Swedish police officers operating on the orders of social services agencies from on board a Turkish Airlines flight June 25, 2009, because he was being homeschooled.
He was 7 at the time.
The family was in the process of moving permanently to India, Annie's home country, but the armed officers were ordered to board the jet and seize the boy.
WND reported last December that an appeals court panel in Sweden had imposed the "death penalty" on the homeschooling family, granting the state full custody of Domenic.
The appeals panel reversed a lower court ruling that granted the Johanssons custody of their son.
During the first months following his seizure, the parents were only permitted to visit Domenic once every two weeks. The visits soon became every five weeks, and in 2010, all visitations were cut off, HSLDA said. The parents haven't seen their son in three years now.
