Das Jugendamt und die Inobhutnahme seiner Kinder: Der Fall Ahmad Abwini und viele offenen Fragen

There are stories that don't want to be told – because their beginning is too painful, their course too unfair, and their end hasn't yet been written. Ahmad Abwini's story is one such. It tells of a father whose heart broke when his children were taken away from him based on a supposedly anonymous tip to the child welfare office, which spoke of violence against his children. Three years have passed. Three years in which not a day or night has passed without his tears flowing silently into the darkness. Ahmad Abwini's case is riddled with contradictions, inconsistencies, and unanswered questions. At its center is a document he was supposed to sign – a document that ultimately proved to be his undoing. To this day, his children deny any violence by their father. They repeatedly express their desire to return home. But neither their voices nor their father's tears seem to be heard. Since being taken into care, they have been injured several times – not under their father's care, but under state care. In a space considered "protected." Ahmad Abwini, however, is not supposed to talk about it. And certainly not publicly. In addition, there is a serious allegation that has so far received little attention: The children report being beaten by teachers. There are allegedly even video recordings that support these statements. But instead of initiating a comprehensive investigation, the matter remained largely uninvestigated. The father, meanwhile, is coming under increasing pressure – not because he has failed, but because he dares to speak about his children's suffering. His openness to influencer Serhat Sisik has now brought him legal consequences. It seems as if they are trying to silence him – by any means necessary. Exculpatory medical reports, positive statements from teachers, former classmates, and the family doctor have gone unheeded. What remains is a father with a broken heart. A man who tirelessly fights for his children – against a system that closes itself off and clearly only allows one image: that of the violent father from whom the children must be protected. Ahmad Abwini's speech is marked by a noticeable accent, his expression shaped by his background, his emotions, and his deep powerlessness. Perhaps it was this linguistic hurdle – this inability to make himself sufficiently understood within the system of German authorities – that led to misunderstandings. Or was it even a deliberate misunderstanding? A hasty judgment? One thing is certain: he was deprived of what a person holds most dear – the closeness to his own children. Between him and the Oelde Youth Welfare Office, not only piles of files but also cultural differences lie. But where authorities examine cold facts, real feelings beat in Ahmad's heart. He loves his children – unconditionally, uncompromisingly, with the fervor known only to parents who have to live with the absence of their children day after day. He wants to learn, grow, and take on responsibility – not out of mere duty, but out of deep love. His children – like himself – move between two cultures. What they need is support. Reliability. Not alienation. And a father who is there. Ahmad wants to be that father. And that is exactly what we demand. We appeal to the Oelde Youth Welfare Office: Take another look. Please. Listen again. Not through the lens of bureaucracy – but with the eyes of humanity. Perhaps a mistake has been made. One that needs to be corrected. Not someday. But now. Aren't three years enough?
