If you’ve ever been surprised at at what states and IRS fine for, you won’t believe these penalties … 

Thanks to a new Swedish law, the Tax Agency can now fine parents who fail to give their children names before they are three months old.

Non-compliant parents face a fine of up to $1,200 per violation.

Thomas Norgren of the Agency says, “It’s every child’s right to have a name.” Of course, parents who are slow to name their children can also cause a paperwork delay on the Agency’s side of things, so the fines might not be entirely for the childrens’ sake.

Norgren also said the agency is currently focusing on the parents of 400 nameless children, but odds are good there are many more offenders in the country.
