Another suspicion of abuse in a Viennese kindergarten: An assistant is said to have repeatedly beaten a boy. The prosecutor is investigating. The victim was withdrawn. The child’s parents believe there are other victims. The operator of the Vienna kindergarten has a completely different view.
This time it concerns a private facility on Küniglberg in Hietzing. An assistant is said to have hit at least one boy several times. Motive: a punishment ritual for peeing your pants.Your hair pulled outThe parents of the now four-year-old were taken aback when the child pulled out clumps of hair. They took him to see a psychologist. There the boy told about beatings (also with other children) and painful pinches in the genital area. The family filed a complaint and the youth welfare office intervened. “The order was immediately issued to remove the assistant from the children’s service. An investigation was immediately initiated. Minutes were taken with the accused and the educational management, and contact was made with a psychologist consulted by the parents and the child’s father. Because the accusation could not be ruled out, a statement of the facts was sent to the public prosecutor’s office,” says MA11. No other cases are known to date. “Employee released immediately” The operator of the kindergarten is a non-profit association. Its spokesman Robert Merker says: “The employee was released immediately. I would like to emphasize that the other children and parents are very sad that she is no longer there the work of the psychologist had brought the full implications to light. The boy’s father also believes that there could be other victims. The four-year-old has since changed childcare. If the allegations turn out to be true, it wouldn’t be the first kindergarten scandal to have surfaced this year. As reported, a teacher at a municipal facility in Penzing is said to have sexually molested several children. Similar allegations were also made in Liesing. The judiciary is investigating in several cases and against different alleged perpetrators.
