If the child are registered with the tax authority and have a personnummer (ID number) then the parents get it at their tax-authority registered bank account. About that kind of fraud I never heard anything like that in Sweden, but I would assume social services checks if children are attending school and if they are not, they investigate the parents. So this kind of fraud shouldn't be possible long-term. Social services would get called if a child doesn't show up for school or is not registered in any schools pretty quickly. I also think that home-schooling is illegal, but not sure on the specifics.
