The case “Lilla hjärtat” concerned the tragic death of a three-year-old girl. The girl who had been in foster care since being a few weeks old was killed by her biological parents shortly after her return from the foster family to the biological parents’ home. The case resulted in political initiatives about changing the legislation regarding children placed in foster care. One of the propositions made was the introduction of an obligation for the Social Welfare Committee to consider a prohibition to move a child from their family home when the foster care ends or is being reconsidered. In this thesis the result of this obligation is analyzed on the basis of the rights of the child. The thesis argues that it has not been sufficiently proven that the proposition of the obligation for the Social Welfare Committee to consider a prohibition to move a child will result in an improvement regarding the rights of the child. The thesis also argues thar there may be more efficient tools to ensure the rights of the child when foster care ends.
