Scandal in Calw: Why a sick child was excluded from holiday care!
An outcry of indignation shakes Calw! A chronically ill child suffering from diabetes was excluded from city holiday care. Reader Gerhard Trick from Calw-Altburg can hardly believe it and asks himself: How can that be? As a former social worker with years of experience in dealing with people with disabilities, he is horrified by the arguments of Ms. Götz, who speaks as a representative of the city of Calw.
The decision to exclude a child with diabetes from holiday care raises questions. Trick criticizes the lack of sensitivity and the unwillingness to integrate. Instead, the city of Calw seems to be relying on exclusion, which is hardly understandable these days. The argument that Ms. Götz puts forward leaves many citizens perplexed. Is it really too much to ask to include a child with special needs in such a program?
The reactions of the citizens
The outrage among the population is growing. Many people are calling for a review of the guidelines and a clear statement from the city administration. The question is: How can a city that is committed to inclusion and equal opportunities make such a decision? The citizens of Calw expect answers and a reversal in the city's policy to ensure that no child is excluded due to their health situation.
