A girl in Vienna became the victim of a crime following a sadistic outburst of violence. In the room of a crisis center, a 13-year-old and a 14-year-old attack a teenager, robbing, beating and humiliating her. Other attendees do not intervene for a long time. They prefer to film and play loud music…
The recently adult perpetrator is anything but blank: before she turned 14, she had received 93 (!) reports.
93 reports before criminal liability was reached
That is why there was helplessness in room 13 of the Vienna Regional Court on Thursday. How should a violent 14-year-old, who had an unimaginable 93 charges (!) to her name for a wide range of crimes before being found criminally liable and who has been in custody for the past few months, be cared for in the future? sat? including for an incredible act on January 12, 2024, a few days after her 14th birthday.
No school attendance for two years
Julia has been that way since she was ten (name changed) based in Vienna. When she was twelve, drugs became involved and she was therefore transferred to a special crisis center for child and youth care. She did not accept the structures there, did not go to school for two years and was often absent.
Julia met a number of other young people, some of them minors, in the shared room on January 12: ‘to relax’, as she told the judge in her trial. How the sadistic outburst of violence against one of the girls came about cannot be fully reconstructed even during the trial. “My girlfriend was stressed because she was jealous and started hitting her,” the defendant describes. “Then I hit her.” – First with a deodorant spray can, then with a chair and kicked her in the face. The brazen friends took the girl’s cell phone, AirPods and a sweater. This was caught on video because one of the boys present filmed it with his cell phone instead of intervening. These are disturbing scenes.
Abuse captured on video
“I told her to take off your clothes and apologize,” said the tall 14-year-old, who looks much older than her age. Then the aggression increased while loud music played in the background. “My hand is now broken by your damn face,” one of the attackers can be heard shouting. Before forcing the whimpering girl to undress and kneel on the floor. The sadistic outburst of violence continued to escalate in a humiliating manner before the boys intervened.
The picture that emerges is full of hopelessness. A child witness reports that death threats and physical violence appear to be common among young people in the care of others: “We had arguments or arguments every week. Because of the makeup, clothes and all that. Actually every day. Continuously.”
Drove without permission four times
Outbreaks of violence are one thing. Julia is also accused of driving an unlocked car on January 18. And ran it over her belt, even though she says she can’t even brake. “Imagine someone running into the street. What would you have done?” Judge Alexandra Skrdla asks the youngster: “I would turn around,” is the answer. What if someone died? “Then I would be afraid that I would go to jail.” She is said to have driven a total of four times before being arrested.
Julia has now been in custody for more than five months. Also because she threatened others with death. Her time in prison has changed her, she assures. But where will she go when she is released? “We have not found a place to live for her,” her lawyer reports. All that remains is accommodation in an expensive shared apartment, where the 14-year-old is given an apartment in which several social workers take turns caring for the girl 24 hours a day – the financing is open.
Unfavorable prognosis of danger
“I have rarely seen such a risk report,” Skrdla points out to the psychiatric experts’ report. In the lawsuit, expert Wachter reports in Julia’s young biography about experiences with violence by her father, the unacceptable out-of-home placement, various drug use and an experience of bullying.
“The video really speaks volumes. I haven’t seen such a gruesome video for a long time,” Ms Rat said after handing down the sentence of one year in prison, including four months, and the 14-year-old’s placement in a forensic therapeutic center. . The girl is admitted.
