RE: The Government Want's our Child, Which is Why We Are Going On The Run.

in #blog8 years ago (edited)

You have done very well to stay under the radar, but the women we spoke to said due to the increased number of families wanting to take their kid on holiday, that they now are refusing to allow us and any other families this right, and that we would be wasting our time to apply for leave, and that social services will come knocking and that we will pay fines from the first day of school start.

Sort:  

We will find out soon enough. We're trying to do it the same way as last year. Our agreement with the principal was that we apply for the whole year off; the school does not approve but knows that the child in question will not be there. Both parties know where we have each other. If the school approves the application they take responsibility for the childs education. But they don't approve so have nofurther legal responsibility. We can travel and not be on violation of the law as long as we're never in Sweden during the school year.
That's how it should work in the current system.
We will find out soon enough.
