A man writes on Facebook that he beats his foster son, who deserves it. A Munich resident reads this and asks the youth welfare office to take action. But the authority does not act.
What to do if you have to assume that a child is not doing well? That it will be beaten, that it may be threatened with further beatings, and that in its own home? Inform the youth welfare office? Hans Witthauer did exactly that and then learned a lot about this authority in the social department.
