The strange turn of events has left family of the school boy battling against the school where the boy attends after the authority claimed that the boy had violated the rights’ of his classmates and that the case was to be handed over to the Swedish Parliament.

The school, sitting snug in the town of Lund, in the southern region of Sweden, states that due to the invitations of the party were handed out on the grounds of the school, it is then down to the school to make sure that no discrimination's are taking place amongst who gets an invite and who doesn’t.

At the time of the child handing out his invitations during class time, his teacher spotted that two of the class had not received invitations to the party. It was then that the teacher intervened and confiscated the whole number of invites.

In the meantime, the parents of the boy have been outraged at the case and the father of the child has logged in a complaint with the parliamentary ombudsman. The two who were not invited to the party were to friends who had fallen out with the boy – one of the children had not invited the boy to his own party.

Speaking personally to the Swedish newspaper, Sydsvenskan, the birthday boy's father said,

"My son has taken it pretty hard. No one has the right to confiscate some one's property in this way, it's like taking some one's post."

The final verdict on the case won't be heard until September - just in time for the start of the new school term and year....
