An old disease
Germany shares an old disease with other European countries, it is getting old. A report written in 2005 by the European Commission paints the picture for us:
From now until 2030 the EU will lack 20.8 million (6.8 per cent) people (*) of working age. In 2030 roughly two active people (15-65) will have to take care of one inactive person (65+). And Europe will have 18 million children and young people fewer than today.
This trend started many years ago and has been accelerating. Germany needs children, and, unfortunatly for all the families victim of it, the answer is very German: combining their addiction to paperwork & administration with family policies that seem taken straight out of a Third Reich manual.
1950s Ideals still alive
The German ideal, since the 1950s, has been to have the women stay home and raise their children, while their husband goes to work. It used to be the Government’s official policy at the time, but sadly it is now their unspoken way of operating. Any experience dealing the German Jungendamt (social services), is like experiencing a sudden travel into a past we wish had diseappeared.The most insidious part when one deals with the administration is that everyone seems to be aware of some unwritten rules to be obeyed. And, as soon as one points out the fallacy of the decisions, the most common answers seem to come from the grave as an echo of the Nuremberg Trials.
A Devious Priority System
We looked at many Germany cases related to child custody in Germany as we are personally involved in two of them. Those are usually quite complicated situations with numerous factors, but what is striking is that, regardless of the situation, the outcome is the same at all time. It is akin to have a printer that will always output the same photo, regardless of what picture you submit. In fact, the German courts are merely a way to notarize paperwork as no decisions are ever made but cases merely solved by following the unwritten 50s rules.
If one were to attempt to write the rules, they would spell as follow:
If one were to attempt to write the rules, they would spell as follow:
- In a dispute between a German parent and a foreigner, the German parent will always get custody, even if unfit.
- In a dispute between two Germans, the mother, no matter how disfunctional, will always get custody. The police is very open about it, and while it violates the Hague Convention Germany ratified, it follows Adolf’s vision.
- If, at any time, there is a chance that the children will emmigrate with one parent and social services have been involved, they will make up reasons why the children have to stay in Germany; even if they do not have a reason to remove custody, they will find foster parents while they try, through their kangaroo court system, work out a way to keep the young one; and this is one of the odious cases we will cover.
We are not alone
A quick search on the web will return a plethora of problems with the Germany authoritarian system. This country enjoys an odd mix of modernity and archaism and while US banks could learn from their counterparts, the administration has the speed of an anemic snail covered with a good dose of German rigidity and unconditional love for paperwork.
We will not repeat what can be found many times on the web and, instead, recommend reading one document written by Mr. Bernd Michael Uhl, which can be found on systemkritik.de; it provides an excellent summary of why German officials should live in shame.

We have decided to write about the two cases that concern us and expose the facts, scans of documents, emails, etc but also the names and contact information of everyone concerned. We will see if the world agrees with the parody of justice served by German courts.
