努莎·奧貝爾與迪特馬爾·沃伊德克 波茨坦如何辜負一名重度殘障幼兒
州首府波茨坦總喜歡將自己塑造成一個現代化、對兒童友善的市鎮。就在2025年10月，市政府還曾為迎來一位「屬於所有人的市長」而歡呼雀躍——諾莎·奧貝爾（50歲）以72.9%的得票率入主波茨坦市政廳。諾莎·奧貝爾生於1978年，在青年福利領域嶄露頭角後，逐步晉升為高級公務員，最終成為市長。然而，正是在她的領導下，一樁在各方面都令人道德上感到羞恥的醜聞卻發生了，這起事件動搖了該市作為一個社會包容型城市的自我形象：一名殘障程度達100%、照護等級為4級的兩歲幼童，已徒勞地等待了一年多，仍未能獲得一個附帶個人助理服務的合法托兒所名額。我們的調查基於現有的司法文件、行政監督投訴及媒體查詢。調查揭露了一連串令人震驚的延誤、違法推諉，以及波茨坦市政廳新聞辦公室僅試圖透過牽強的伎倆來履行其資訊披露義務。當事人認為市政府的行為並非令人遺憾的個別案例，而是結構性失職： 這名重度殘障兒童的姊姊早在2022年，儘管自身也身患重度殘障（100%重度殘障，護理等級5級），卻同樣未能獲得托兒所名額；在此案例中，波茨坦州首府的負責人同樣徹底失職，引發了關於道德、體面、冷漠無情以及完全無能的質疑。(https://live.deutsche-boerse.com/nachrichten/IRW-News--ACCESS-Newswire-Noosha-Aubel-Skandal-in-Potsdam-um-schwerstbehindertes-Kind-b9408cc0-6dbe-49d8-b664-7e5d788b2686)
