Lukas uncertain life: condemnation and the pursuit of stop
In a court trial that gives an insight into the life of a young person who commutes between homelessness and crime, the dreary reality of Lukas shows. The young man neither appeared in court at his appointment, nor was he available for his social worker or lawyer. His probation helper speaks of "hidden homelessness", a state that many do not perceive in society. "He is like a nomade," his lawyer describes his inconsistent life situation. He often changes his sleeping place and does not find a permanent connection.
Lukas has changed school several times and difficulties building friendships or cope with the school material. His problems seemed to tighten; Both the attack on a classmate and the insult of a teacher led to suspension. Ultimately, he gave up the school completely.
family conflicts and crisis intervention
At the hearing, the judge tried to reach Lukas' parents. Terrified answers came back: The mother hadn't seen her son for a month, the father was unsure where Lukas was, and suspected that he could be in a crisis center. The social worker suggested looking for Lukas in the Steinbauerpark, a well -known meeting point for young people. At that moment, he entered into the courtroom late and obviously disinterested.his statements made it clear why he was dissatisfied with school and his life. "The children there make me aggressively. They say 'Talahon' to me," he explained, which indicates bullying. According to conflicts within the family, Lukas landed in a crisis center, but there too the hoped -for peace was denied, and arguments were the order of the day.
According to the indictment, Lukas, who lives without money, has decided to the theft of cars and the use of stolen bank cards. In court, he considered these acts to be fun and saw them just a way to get money to buy food or cigarettes.
life and punishment
The stories of Leon, which can often be found in the Steinbauerpark, reflect similar experiences. He is also affected by a criminal record, among other things because of robbery, and, like Lukas, has to struggle with a life full of uncertainties. Leon's lawyer sees the need for a structured support network because its parents cannot assist him. "He doesn't know where he belongs," says the lawyer.
In a surprising judgment, Lukas was sentenced to 12 months. "They were already in custody, they go home today. Wherever that is," noted the judge, visibly affected by this processed situation. Afterwards Leon's friends were waiting in front of the hall - the one he had said about wanting to stay away. The final question remains: what will become of these young people?
