“The recent revelations about years of violence and abuse in the SOS Children’s Village Moosburg are deeply shocking. Children who should have experienced protection and security should have been presumably abused, humiliated and left alone. Green.
For this reason, the Greens bring in a parliamentary request to the Minister of Justice. It is intended to clarify why, despite numerous information and an independent study, no consequences were drawn and how it could result in procedures that have been set several times.
The focus is also on the role of the Carinthian state government, which is a special responsibility as a professional supervision of child and youth welfare. “It is highly questionable how such a control failure could arise. Why did the state of Carinthia not have fulfilled its legal supervisory duty? After the Franz Wurst scandal, there should have been great sensitivity – but instead it turns out that the authorities have learned nothing. The Carinthian state government is responsible for this disgusting failure in child protection. Lookless remained, ”emphasizes Olga Voglauer, Member of the National Council and the state spokeswoman for the Green Carinthia.
The request calls for comprehensive information, a possible resumption of the procedures and measures to ensure that institutional violence on children will be consistently pursued in the future. The question also arises whether such misconduct are known in other institutions, apart from SOS Kinderdorf.
“Children are the most vulnerable members of our society. Their protection must be a top priority. Such a look away must never repeat themselves,” says Neßler.
