The great struggle inside her

Child Rearing, Food for Thought, From the children, Jugendamt

I was with my parents, happy, joyful and satisfied. My parents have been raising me for 12 years.

Rea (age 8), Sharat, Sh’mariah, Nechonah (age 12)

Then, suddenly on September 5, 2013 I was taken by the police together with my brother Rea, away from my parents. Together with my brother I was put in a foster family. From that day on I was no longer happy, joyful and satisfied. I might have had a little fun but not real joy.

First I thought I was in a good family, but then I noticed how the foster mother was against our community. I tried to tell her that we were living according to the gospel, but she didn’t stop talking against us.

My brother then was put in a different family, together with Noach ben Miriam. This was very hard. But when I look back now, I think it was good because what happened to me after this was even worse.

My foster parents started to mistreat me. I got to know how it is to be mistreated. I wasn’t loved the way my parents loved me. No longer could I stay there. It was too hard. So I ran away.

We found a kind servant* who allowed me to stay with my parents for the night. Next morning I went to the minchah* and had breakfast with everybody. Then I went with my parents to the judge. She had a few minutes for us. I told her what happened.

Then we also asked her why it is so hard for her to let the children go back to their parents. She opened up a little bit as she explained the great struggle inside of her. She had to decide between the law and her heart.

Perhaps she was about to cry…but she didn’t let me stay with my parents. The “Jugendamt” (Youth Department) came, looked for a new place for me to stay, and took me there.

I learned and saw the difference between discipline and mistreatment. I could see how horrible
it is to be mistreated (of which the authorities falsely accuse us).

Much love, Nechonah bath Sharat (12)
(still in captivity)

*Servant = a government official who serves the people, not one who lords it over them.

*Minchah = our daily gatherings, morning and evening, where we sing, dance, share, and lift up our thanksgiving and prayers.

Another girl runs away from foster-parents

Abuse in Foster Care, Jugendamt, Justice, welfare of the children in the background

Tonight we got a call from our very disturbed daughter Nechonah (12 years old). She had run away with her friend – also a foster daughter – from her foster family. They both couldn’t endure any longer.

Like a waterfall Nechonah told us everything on the phone. For weeks now she had been screamed at with increasing frequency by the foster mother. She wasn’t able to please her in anything any more. She was often accused, quite unexpectedly, of having done something wrong.

Our children are abused in foster care!

Her letters were read. She had to secretly write letters and secretly read her Bible. Other reading material that was related to her beliefs, she could not read. It was not allowed to call the youth office, she could have no contact with her ​​old friends.

Once the woman’s daughter had pushed and struck her and the mother did not do anything.

Later, she was ridiculed before her friends because of it. She had to clean a lot without the foster mother acknowledging it. She felt like a slave in the family.

Her brother Reah (age 8) was excluded increasingly in school. A few days ago, on the way back from gym classes, a whole clique of classmates forced him to smoke a cigarette. He tried to resist, but the boys have beaten and mocked him.

The family had received a lot of money to take care of the foster children, but Nechonah said that they have hardly taken care of their needs, but they made ​​use of the money to pay off their house.

Since the removal of the 5 September, we had very little contact with our children. We wanted to know how they are doing and where they are. Often times we addressed the Jugendamt (youth welfare office) about it, but always we were rejected.

Contact Ban

After 6 weeks, we have seen our children again for the first time. Reah said several times said that he wants to tell us something personal, but he was afraid. All telephone contacts took place under the supervision and so also this visit. He did not feel free to express himself.

Also in the next telephone contact he wanted to tell us something personal, but he told me again: “Someone is listening!”

Nechonah wrote in her letters that she could read in the Bible only in secret and could not speak freely about her faith. Once she secretly wrote a letter to her friend. It seemed strange to us and we got the impression that it was not going well for our children.

During this time the foster mother began often to complain about us. We should not influence our children. I did not know what she meant by that, because we hardly had contact with them. We were very worried. We still did not feel heard by Jugendamt.

Then we set out to visit Nechonah at her school. We wanted to find out what’s wrong with her. This was thwarted. One minute after we had met Nechonah, the foster mother came already. She wanted to pick up Nechonah. In this one-minute our daughter told again that she is not free.

We gave her a cell phone so she could tell us everything in peace later. The foster mother was very agitated.

Our children get herpes in foster care!

Next visit we were very shocked about the health of our children. Reah, our son had a severe rash and herpes and Nechonah also had a few spots on the face, which were infected with herpes. She had to even scarlet fever and glandular fever.

At the end of our visit, as we were returning Nechonah to the foster mother, Nechonah complained that she was once forced to eat liver, which, according to our tradition, is not food. The foster mother then exploded and yelled at Nechonah that she should not lie so outrageously. We tried to calm down the foster mother. We thought that it’s just a misunderstanding.By now it was found out that she really had tried to force Nechonah.

Two days later, the Jugendamt brought our son Reah suddenly to another foster family. He could not say goodbye to his sister. No one had warned him. He spent several days in a state of shock. Now he has calmed down slowly.

Before this – before foster care – our children had been free, secure and happy. Who will now take responsibility for these abuses? Tomorrow we go to Judge R. to bring all these things to light.

Will she listen to us?

Nechonah was not removed from foster care by the judge, but placed in another family. See “The great struggle inside her,” for more on that.

We fled German society hoping to avoid the very things for our children that the State and the Jugendamt are now inflicting upon them. Is there no freedom of religion in Germany? Does no one understand parents’ love for their children?

In happier days…

Childrens Cards, From the children, Jugendamt, Justice, Youth

I was very happy to see my parents again after a long time.Letter from Schifchatjah 1

Dear Besorah, Chaninah, and Ishah,

How are you doing? I am doing okay.

On Monday I had my court hearing. After my hearing I was able to see my brothers and talk with them a little bit. We had a nice time.

Today my parents came, and Mr. Bishop. I was very happy to see my parents again after a long time. Now I can talk on the telephone with my parents and my brothers without anybody listening.

Keep on enduring, our Father will bless those who do not give up. I love you and miss you very much.

Your best friend,

Shifchatjah

P.S. Tell Noah greetings from me.

(Please write me, whenever you are able to.)

Don’t let the youth office oppress youLetter from Schifchatjah 2

Dear Nechonah,

It was nice to receive your letter. Often I have to think about the time with you in class. On Monday I had my court hearing. After the hearing I was allowed to see my brothers and talk to them.

I’m very happy that my letters are not being checked any more and that I don’t to phone with speakers on.

On the weekend we went to a fair. Also we moved to another group, which is a little bit better.

Sometimes I ride horses, that is pretty nice. Also we had a feast here to honor Franciskus (a holy one of the Catholic Church). The people here think that he was like God because he took care of poor people.

I hope I can see you very soon. I love you very much and appreciate your endurance. You are not alone in the battle, we are all in a battle. Don’t let the Youth Office oppress you.

I love you and miss you terribly.

Your best friend,

Shifchat-Jah

From the children, Jugendamt, Justice, Youth

My First Time at a Court Hearing

Helez's LetterMy appointment was at 9 a.m. and I was very exited. My caretaker and I drove together to the court. Once we arrived, a police officer escorted us to the waiting room. I had thought that while we were waiting, my lawyer would talk to me about the court case. Yet all he did was talk to my caretaker about the best weather for motor bicycling etc.. I had thought a lawyer to be someone who would help me and stand for me.

But when I was talking to the judge the lawyer also questioned me. I had the impression that both of them were fighting against me.

After the hearing I was a bit relieved, since now the judge knew that I want to go home. I had the impression that the judge didn’t believe anything I said. The Jugendamt said that the reason for taking me from my parents and locking me into a institution was only for the good of the child.

But I must say that I am very angry with the Jugendamt. All they do is: THEY DESTROY THE LIFE OF HAPPY FAMILIES. Without the Jugendamt my life would be so much more beautiful.

Jugendamt? No, thank you!
