SOS-Kinderdorf plans changes after abuse

125

A group of experts writes a report. Irmgard Griss leads this group. She gives the report to SOS-Kinderdorf. The report shows many past mistakes.

People talk about abuse by Hermann Gmeiner. He started the group. The report lists 16 suspected cases. The victims were 6 to 20 years old. This happened between 1950 and 1980.

The group wanted a good name. So they hid the problems. They kept reports about bad things in a drawer. Powerful men decided everything.

The leaders did not share facts. Helmut Kutin also knew about it. He protected a donor who hurt children. The law now checks the new facts.

SOS-Kinderdorf wants to change. They have new leaders. They plan new steps by the end of July. They want better rules for child care.
