Freedom for Alexander (Case Ref: 97 F 243/22)

• Background and Medical History: Alexander was born in Cottbus and was an excellent student at the Bauhaus School. Intellectually gifted but chronically ill, he has survived 12 major surgeries in Berlin and Cottbus. Since birth, his primary care, upbringing, and medical support have been provided entirely by his father—a professional composer who maintains a strictly drug- and alcohol-free lifestyle. In contrast, the child's mother, Mrs. S., has consistently demonstrated a lack of engagement regarding his welfare.

• The Measures by the Youth Welfare Office: Since December 5, 2022, Alex has been placed under the care of the Cottbus Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt). The practical enforcement of this measure severely restricts the child: he is currently barred from attending regular schooling both in Cottbus and at his place of residence in Lychen. For the presiding judge, Mrs. H. at the District Court (Amtsgericht) Cottbus, these critical restrictions on his education remained unaddressed.

• Conflict of Interest and Expert Assessments: The judicial proceedings involved three independent experts. While two of the experts explicitly favored the child remaining with the father, the third expert, Mr. W., positioned himself aggressively against the father. This negative turn occurred immediately after the father strictly rejected inappropriate personal approaches from Mr. W., raising significant concerns regarding objectivity and professional bias.

• Systemic Discrepancies: The handling of this case highlights a profound double standard within the local family protection system. While a dedicated, protective father faces systemic barriers, the local network—comprising specific elements of the Youth Welfare Office, family assistance services, and judicial oversight—frequently permits drug-dependent households in the Cottbus area to operate without equivalent intervention or disruption to their parental status.

Urgent Briefing: Severe Violations of Child Welfare and Fundamental Rights

Subject: The Case of Alexander (Born in Cottbus, Case Ref: 97 F 243/22)

Status: Multi-Systemic Failure under German State Care (Updated: June 2026)

• 1. Immediate Medical Endangerment & Physical Abuse Alexander is intellectually highly gifted but suffers from a severe, chronic medical condition. Thanks to international medical expertise (including the Vascular Birthmarks Foundation and specialized medical teams from the USA, Israel, and Russia), he survived 12 initial surgeries. Since being placed under the care of the Cottbus Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt), his physical safety has been catastrophically compromised. While being moved through multiple state-run residential facilities (Lychen, Prenzlau, Lübben, Angermünde), Alexander was physically assaulted. Other youths targeted his medical condition, striking him with a fist directly on his surgical wound. Consequently, a vital, pre-scheduled surgery in February 2026 had to be canceled due to acute trauma. He later underwent his 13th and 14th surgeries in Cottbus in August, with the 14th procedure fortunately showing success. The state has fundamentally failed in its absolute duty of care to protect a vulnerable, medically compromised minor.

 

• 2. Coercion and Criminal Exploitation of Minors During his placement in the Lychen facility, institutionalized youths—including Alexander—were systematically pressured and coerced by external networks or older peers to commit acts of property damage, specifically targeting vehicles. Evidence indicates that these minors were exploited to facilitate institutionalized insurance fraud, allowing vehicle owners to claim substantial financial payouts at the direct legal, psychological, and physical risk of the children under state supervision.

• 3. Violations of Religious Freedom & Theft of Financial Instruments The management of the facilities has actively permitted the suppression of fundamental rights. Alexander’s right to access kosher food has been systematically ignored and practically banned, representing a severe breach of international standards on freedom of religion. Furthermore, documented thefts of Alexander’s personal property—including his mobile phone and international financial instruments (Visa and Mastercard) provided as secure lifelines by his father—have been met with institutional silence by the facility management, despite definitive evidence being brought forward.

 

• 4. Systemic Inversion of Judicial and Parental Safeguards Alexander’s upbringing, life-saving care, and stable environment were entirely provided by his father—a professional composer who adheres to a strictly drug- and alcohol-free lifestyle. In contrast, the child's mother, Mrs. S., has consistently requested the institutionalization of her children to prioritize personal travel.

  The judicial enforcement under presiding judge Mrs. H. (District Court Cottbus) has actively harmed the child by barring him from attending regular school in both Cottbus and Lychen. The court's reliance on a single, heavily biased expert, Mr. W., directly contradicted the official findings of two independent experts who explicitly ruled in favor of the father. Mr. W.’s aggressive position against the father materialized only after the father strictly rejected inappropriate, boundary-violating personal approaches from the expert.

• Conclusion & Request for Intervention While individual administrative oversight has already led to official reprimands (Rügen) against the presiding judge and the dismissal of staff at the Youth Welfare Office, the current situation on the ground remains an active crisis. This document serves to formally brief international oversight bodies regarding ongoing human rights violations, the denial of education, and the targeted physical endangerment of a child under German state custody.

• 5. Financial Incentives and Institutional Networks The systemic refusal to return Alexander to his drug- and alcohol-free father is heavily tied to immense financial incentives within the regional care industry in the State of Brandenburg. Independent financial tracking reveals that state-regulated residential groups and institutional mini-homes receive approximately €7,000 per month per child from taxpayers' funds. This high-profit structure creates a severe conflict of interest, where regional networks of youth welfare staff, private facility operators, and court-appointed experts actively profit from prolonged institutionalization, directly incentivizing the separation of children from capable biological parents.

• 6. Economic Displacement and Protection of Intellectual Property Due to the official rulings issued by the District Court Cottbus, which directly threatened the father's professional existence, immediate countermeasures had to be taken to protect his lifelong artistic work. To safeguard his international musical catalog, production rights, and digital business models from regional judicial overreach, all operations regarding his music assets and licensing have been legally transferred and anchored within the United States. This strategic relocation ensures that his professional livelihood remains fully insulated from the ongoing administrative hostilities in Germany
