Teltow-Fläming youth welfare office faces crisis over delayed decisions

The youth welfare office in Teltow-Fläming is facing significant criticism following a surge in unresolved cases. During a recent meeting of the youth welfare committee, parents and social therapists expressed deep distress over long waiting periods for official decisions.

Approximately 180 cases are currently stalled, particularly regarding integration assistance. This assistance is vital for children with physical or mental impairments to ensure their participation in social life. Committee members noted an unprecedented level of tension and desperation from families seeking support.
