Shocking decision: girl stays with sect parents!

Dillingen, Deutschland - A remarkable court decision that underlines the advantages of family and individual will now came from the Dillingen district court. The court decided that a 14-year-old girl who lived in a foster family can return after a long legal dispute to his biological parents, the members of the sect "twelve tribes". This happened, although the child had been withdrawn from the parents in 2013 due to allegations of abuse.

The return to the biological parents took place in the summer when the court said in a decision that there was no longer any risk to the child's well -being. The reason for the return was the girl's wish that was expressed during a video conference with her parents and the family court.

origin of the custody dispute

In 2013, the child was separated from the parents due to allegations on physical misconceptions. These measures were considered necessary to protect the child from potential dangers, since certain forms of discipline, which also include physical misconceptions, are accepted up to the age of 13 in the community of the "twelve tribes". In the case of adolescents aged 14, however, it is assumed that this type of punishment is no longer permitted.

In the years after the custody was withdrawn, the parents in vain recognized their claims to re -transmission of custody. But the long arm of the law was not always on her side. Ultimately, a new hearing led to a fundamental reassessment of the situation. A video conference in which the girl explicitly expressed that she wanted to stay with her parents, received decisive attention.

The court ruling and its consequences

The court could not completely rule out that the child was exposed to an influence by the parents, but the girl showed clear and age -appropriate will to want to live with the family. According to the court, she also assessed contact with her foster parents as valuable and expressed the desire to attend it occasionally. It was emphasized that she is aware of the differences between life with her biological parents and the foster parents.

The concern for the child's welfare does not remain unfounded due to the history. Nevertheless, the court stated that further custody deprivation was considered disproportionate, especially since no further signs of a risk to the child's well -being were found. Instead, the positive aspects of the close, trusting relationship between the child and his biological parents were pointed out.

The "twelve tribes" themselves have also made headlines in the past. After a custody dispute by a total of 40 children in 2013, the members left Bavaria and settled to the Czech Republic, which continued to fire the discussion about the rights of members of this community and the security concerns regarding their upbringing.

Overall, this case impressively shows how complex and delicate the balance between parental custody and the protection of children can be in problematic social structures. The decision of the court illustrates how the child's personal will is increasingly focused on decisions.
