A village in Sweden for troubled, delinquent or disturbed young people.
An extract from the documentary 'Country of Tomorrow' profiling a very specific way of life in modern Sweden.
Reporter Brian Cleeve visits Ska Edeby, Sweden, the children's village, where "delinquent" or "disturbed" children are cared for in a safe, relaxed and stable environment. The cottages where the children live are run by young volunteers.
Brian Cleeve describes the backgrounds of the children living here. Off camera a village counsellor discusses living arrangements in the cottages, the way of life, and what constitutes acceptable behaviour.
What we try to do is treat them like they should be treated in their own home.
