Once again, brutal abuse in home care comes to light—and once again, the most defenseless pay the price. The question is no longer whether Sweden has lost control, but how long a society can endure when it fails to protect its own elderly.
– Give me a cyanide pill that I can keep in my bathroom cabinet. If I ever need home care, I can take it – then they can do whatever they want with me afterwards.
That is how one of my friends expressed herself the other day, when we discussed that yet another young immigrant man employed in home care has been convicted of abusing the elderly people he was hired to look after. This despite the fact that the man has a criminal gang background and has previously been convicted of humiliating Swedish youths.
The man in question, Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh (22), arrived as an unaccompanied minor from Syria in 2015. Ten years of support from welcoming organizations, free access to taxpayer-funded Swedish welfare, and preferential access to employment have thus led to this: elderly, vulnerable, and dementia-stricken home care recipients in Örebro have been humiliated and filmed in their own homes.
The videos were discovered on a mobile phone during another criminal investigation. In one of the videos, the victim is a 92-year-old woman.
– You look like an ape! he says to the woman while pointing at her.
He then continues to insult the elderly woman in Arabic:
– Oh, you whore! I swear I will curse you!
– Eat shit! Whore!
This is inhuman behavior. But anyone who believes that the home care worker in Örebro is unique is mistaken. During the police investigation, it emerged that the accused was part of a network of home care workers who shared videos of abuse with one another.
Previously, we have spoken about pedophile rings, where sick and sadistic individuals share images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of children. Now multiculturalism has blessed Sweden with yet another phenomenon: sick and sadistic individuals who take pleasure in humiliating and raping elderly Swedes.
This should not come as a shock to anyone. In accordance with the prevailing “value framework,” home care services have also been used as an integration measure for young men—men whose identities are often unclear and whose backgrounds have not been possible to verify, but who come from strongly patriarchal, violence-affirming, and misogynistic cultures.
Just when you think it cannot get worse, you realize that this is not a new phenomenon. Since 2021, around 400 reports of rape within home care services have been filed. Four hundred reports, from across Sweden: Umeå, Uddevalla, Uppsala, Vänersborg, Östhammar, Kristinehamn, Jönköping, Eskilstuna… The dark figure is likely enormous—how many have actually been subjected to this? And why have our municipalities not acted, when they have known what is happening? If Swedish men had committed abuses against immigrant women, Sweden would have been in flames long ago.
But now there is silence — and that may be the most ominous part.
Once again, Sweden has shown that it is incapable of protecting even the most vulnerable: our children and our elderly. The reality in the so-called humanitarian superpower is that our children are subjected to violence, threats, and abuse in schools, while our elderly parents are subjected to violence, threats, and abuse in their own homes.
Is there any future for a country that allows this? And who dares to grow old in Sweden—a country that in just a few decades has gone from being a global model for welfare and safety to a global cautionary example? Not my friend, at least—and hardly me either. Perhaps the suggestion of free cyanide pills should be taken seriously? In my view, that is a far more appealing end than being raped by a stranger who holds the key to your home.
So what sentence did Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh receive? The Örebro District Court found him guilty of humiliating 13 elderly vulnerable individuals. For this, he was sentenced to one year in prison. He must also pay 192,000 SEK in damages—barely 15,000 [$ 1,480) per victim.
Shall we guess that Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh will soon be back working in home care in another municipality? Perhaps it will be your elderly mother he is assigned to “care for”—with fists and camera at the ready?
