Young people use camera phones to threaten caregivers

Simon Winter from infotology.org forwarded this article which was published in Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet, "about a growing problem with "young criminals" using camera phones to threaten caregivers at the emergency ward of Swedish hospital Södersjukhuset. The photos are accompanied by a threat to come back and get the person later."

Update According to Simon Winter, the threatening situations that are mentioned in the original article are related to 1. people not being prioritized when they are convinced that they need urgent care, 2. violence between rivalling youth, often with guns/knives and 3. drug users.
