The case of the 16-year-old Vorarlberg, to whom the Feldkirch district administration had failed in the search for accommodation, was processed by the responsible persons of the BH, the specialized supervision of the state and the child and youth lawyer. Conclusion: mistakes have happened, but the system still works.
After the allegations against the responsible people of the BH Feldkirch became known, the opposition parties of the State Parliament had asked for a full clarification. The responsible state councilor Barbara Schöbi-Fink invited Friday to the “round table”, in which, in addition to the politicians, the district capital and the children’s and youth lawyer participated. The questions about the fall of the 16-year-old were “answered from a technical point of view”, taking into account the confidentiality obligation, said it after the meeting.
Schöbi-Fink discovered that the period was critically seen in which the younger contact was denied contact with the district administration. Moreover, the district administration has already admitted that errors in communication with the young person had also expired.
However, the councilor also emphasized that the evaluation of public children’s and youth welfare in 2023 had fundamentally published the KJH system Vorarlberg. In 2024, children’s and youth welfare offered educational support in 2319 cases. In 397 cases, adolescents came in 267 cases to promote families.
In the 397 institutionally guided children and adolescents, 6.5 percent of care took place, either by those who were careful, the young people or the young people or through the facility. “For various reasons, for example in the case of conflicts or resistors against rules, it is unfortunately not always possible to keep young people in these facilities.”
“The willingness of the young people must be present”
If young people could no longer be provided by private institutions for children and young people, the adolescent would receive support for the adolescent as part of auxiliary plans until it was again possible to record a suitable facility. To do this, however, the willingness of the adolescent must also be given to accept the offer. In “extremely rare cases”, with so-called “border guards”, the help system reaches its limits, according to Schöbi-Fink.
This is not only a challenge in Vorarlberg, but throughout Austria. “But they exist and it is important to respond to their life situation and try everything in the interest of children and young people to find the right help,” emphasized the state member of the state. The country has planned a conversation with a recognized expert for spring for spring, and representatives of politics, police and judiciary are also invited.
