Known as welfare entrepreneurs Trap and Aki Manninen have spent May Day on their island in the Pori archipelago. The couple has been sharing videos of their May Day party on their Instagram stories, which are on display for 24 hours.
However, on May Day, the couple received a nasty phone call from a social worker.
– They (social workers) received a notification this afternoon that there would have been a dump here. There would have been a party here and the child was present. Today Aki has taken Donna to the boat and Donna would be without a beanie, Rita Niemi-Manninen tells Iltalehte.

Rita points out that the claims made about the family are not true. He says that the couple has celebrated May Day with family friends at a bar, enjoying sparkling wine, but they haven’t been in the dumps.
– The video also shows that Donna is wearing a beanie on the boat, Rita adds.
– I can say that it has been such a peaceful May Day. We have been watching Suomen kaunein mökki program late into the evening in peace on the sofa.
The entrepreneur mentions that it is not the first time that they have been reported for child protection. This time, the married couple decided to file a criminal complaint. Iltalehti has seen Manninen’s criminal complaint.
– Now it became such that this cannot be like this, that someone just makes non-existent announcements, he continues.
– Yes, we have to have some right too, otherwise anyone can report someone there just to be annoying and slander on purpose, if they don’t like someone (person), Rita storms off.

The well-being entrepreneur is saddened by the fact that there is still a note on the unfounded child protection notice. Rita also wrote a cheeky update about it on social media.
The entrepreneur was showered with several private messages, in which many told about their similar experiences. Many felt that the baseless child protection reports were a kind of retaliatory measure.
– This affects quite a lot of people, even if it is not in the public eye.
– Quite dark. I don’t know what a person gets out of it. It’s just teasing and there seems to be a lot of that on social media, says Rita.
Aki and Rita have been married since 2015. They have a daughter together, Donna, who was born in June 2019. The family also includes Putin-dog.
