In the "world": foster child tells tale of woe
In Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, the United States and India, they do social work: Almost 1,000 Dernbacher Catholic sisters. Some of them have now perhaps the "world" read page 3, entitled: "Violence as a system". It tells the story of Gudrun Ickenroth ". I've got in the name of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit" Two years ago it was as if in "a home of the Congregation of the poor maid-servants of Jesus Christ in the Hessian Dernbach" come is. There she experienced terrible.
Such allegations are not new. They are raised for a long time. Former children's home show in Dernbach, while entrenching sisters, reject calls. Some of those demonstrators had been almost pulled even in Aachen in court.
Since the judges with great public interest credited, was the indictment, the prosecution of 30 November 2006 done by correspondence. The accusation was: "In fact, the accused knew ... that there had been the children's home St. Joseph in the years 1956-1971 not to serious or systematic abuses against them." It was about a children's home in Eschweiler. The Dernbacher sisters showed any accusation out of hand, the prosecutor failed yet with his indictment.

"
So what governs the doubt for a lawyer. With the sometimes even threatened, before an article in the papers, while critical questions at all can not be resolved. As an editor lands quickly until Pontius, then on Pilate. The manager is hiding behind the home line, home line behind the management.
So now the "world". Gisela cherry stone and Miriam Hollstein as authors may now be curious: Serves this time the lawyer for the Dernbacher sisters?
