An abuse scandal shook the Feldhäuschen daycare center in Spandau. A comment by BZ editor-in-chief Miriam Krekel.
It is a protocol that will freeze your blood in your veins.
When you understand that the smallest children were helpless at the mercy of a suspected child molester. Although there were alarm signs. Although parents described their uneasy feeling weeks earlier. Although there was a conversation with the affected temporary educator. And it was decided to watch him …
… the children were still left alone with him. It’s a shame.
This case shows so much that we have to take children seriously. Even or especially with seemingly harmless little things. Better to be too careful once more than one more abused child in the world.

Of course, you can’t put every educator out of the door at the first sign. With no evidence. But you can’t let him go on as if nothing had happened. And at the same time claims that everything has been done.
What did the police do when it got concrete? Nothing for TWO DAYS. So bitter. Then it was Friday and it happened: again NOTHING. Allegedly nobody “reached” anyone on Monday. Via phone? Why didn’t a policeman drive past the day care center?
How can it be that police officers come to the scene immediately whenever there is shoplifting, but when children have been tortured and abused, you take your time and talk on the phone for days? How is that possible?
The question remains: how do you explain this to parents? And like the children, should they one day realize what has been done to them?
