Talk to Katia Wagner – Cheeky Kinder: “Messer has become socially acceptable”

Date:

After the shocking cases of delinquent children, psychiatrist Sigrun Roßmanith explains the background. The next generation lacks frustration tolerance and values. And the knife has also become “socially acceptable”…

This applies not only to children and young people from the ‘lower class’, but also to children who have been neglected by wealth. There is often a lack of dialogue with parents, resulting in “brutality”. “Everyone is busy with their mobile phones and that is a monologue,” the renowned psychiatrist explains the problem in a conversation with Katia Wagner.

Young offenders forced girls to lick garbage off the floor
Kronen Zeitung court journalist Anja Richter also reports that negotiations with juvenile delinquents are often accompanied by mobile phones. She recalls one case in particular: young girls forced their victim to undress and lick rubbish off the floor in a municipal building in Vienna – and captured it on film. “These girls were in the courtroom in an incredible way back then. They even called the judge ‘you victim’.”

Should children go to prison?
Because of these cases, especially in Germany, the reduction of criminal responsibility is hotly debated – after all, you can only be prosecuted for your crimes from the age of 14. Lawyer Astrid Wagner vehemently rejects this proposal, although children today are “precocious”. “It’s an understandable reflex, but it doesn’t solve the problem,” says Wagner. No child would be “set on the right path” in prison. The perpetrator’s work pays off, because: “Hops and malt are really rarely lost.”

“Making dissenters a social problem”
The youth researcher Bernhard Heinzlmaier emphasizes that one should not draw conclusions about the entire generation on the basis of violent individual cases. In addition to the brutal spikes reported in the media, the children and young people are “highly adaptable” and even drink less alcohol than previous generations. Verbal abuse is a social problem. “If we blast on Twitter, it’s okay, but don’t let anyone grab it. On a verbal level, there’s a complete lack of sensitivity,” says Heinzlmaier.

“Children need boundaries!”
What can be done about the development that some children are abused? “Children need to learn boundaries. There’s no point in just taking care of them. You must know where the end is. And those boundaries must be communicated consistently,” the psychiatrist explains.

“Katia Wagner – the talk” can be seen every Wednesday at 8:15 PM on krone.tv. Join the discussion and tune in!
