Mediated by child traffickers: What will become of this girl?
Romanian girls busy offices and authorities
Marie is two years old. Marie is funny. They prefer to go with grandpa on the tractor or playing with Tom and Jan in the mud. That Opi not her real grandfather and Tom and Jan are their real brothers do not know Marie. The girl came at the age of three months under dubious conditions from Romania to Germany. This busy last week, the court which sentenced for human trafficking, the masterminds behind (we reported). The further fate of the girl, however, is unclear.
A private initiative of two women from Hammelburg Astrid R. meets (all names have been changed, the editorial office) in late 2006 in a village near the Romanian town Lipova to little Mary, then, the youngest of nine children. "The conditions there were deplorable," she recalls. First, they have agreed in writing with their own parents for a temporary guardianship, says Astrid R. "Then, should culminate in a foster care adoption."
The authorities of course she does with that of Romanian Hammelburg. You have to rely on their integrity and their supposedly good contacts with the right people, says Astrid R. "I do not understand the language." They've paid on the advice of her companion and bribes, so faster formalities went, she admits.
No sooner had Astrid R. Marie brought with him to Germany and recorded with the youth due to a care application contact began, the problems, she says. "It was said that we should bring back the child. An adoption of Romanian children was possible only by relatives. "They did not know insists Astrid R., Marie, they will return under any circumstances." At that time she was half starved. " The little girl would not have survived in Romania is, Astrid R. secure.
For two years Mary lived in the district of Bad Kissingen. She likes Pippi Longstocking and the Sandman. The lively blond climbs on the bench in the dining room and grabs a piece of chocolate. "It's become so close to my heart," says Karin Pflegeoma. Family R. will therefore do everything so Marie can stay permanently with them.
But legally speaking, is Marie "in a sort of gray area" as an employee of the Immigration Office at the District Office stated. A notarized statement by the birth parents to secure family R. until mid next year, the guardianship of Mary. Then the child has a total spent three and a half years in Germany. knows what happens next is uncertain.
"The youth is related to the Romanian consulate," said Anna Barbara Keck, Department for Communities and Social Affairs at the District Office at the request of the Main-Post. "We can make up for weeks no personal contact with the biological parents anymore," laments Astrid R.
However, without the consent of the custodial parent remain in Romania are the foster parents in all decisions regarding Marie's hands are tied. An application from Mr and Mrs R. on guardianship has rejected a family judge of the District Court of Bad Kissingen. "A guardianship is possible only if the parental care can not be guaranteed," said the judge on request. That he had seen in this case as not given.
Astrid R. is a very different view. "As a judge can say that the parents in Romania could just take good care of the child as we do here? They have nothing, "Keck confirmed that the child was safe with his foster parents very well and that for the youth" of the child first "stand.
"From our side there is no constraint that the child must return to Romania," said an official with the foreigners authority. It was not even illegal there, and was health insurance. "The crux is that the child without the custodial parents in Germany. Therefore, it is not to freedom of movement under EU law. Otherwise it would in an adoption, but that is indeed possible in this case. " Much is wrong in the case of Marie stupid even from the beginning, regretted the administration officials. That there be for the child, a legally proper solution needs to have the youth, family law and immigration authorities agree. When will it happen, would depend primarily on the Romanian authorities, as Keck. "There are always possibilities."
Astrid R. refuge now in their concern about Marie's future in gallows humor: "If we had a baby polar bear Knut, might have been long since found solutions." Marie, meanwhile bouncy hops on Papa's lap, nursing.
