Sexual abuse and experiences of violence by educators or other young people: more and more former residents of the SOS Children's Village in Moosburg (Carinthia) are reporting this. Some of the allegations are time-barred – but many are not. There are already more than 100 accused. And another social institution is also under investigation!

It began with a secret report commissioned by SOS Children's Villages itself to internally evaluate allegations surrounding the facility in Moosburg. But years of cover-ups not only set the ball rolling – they triggered an avalanche.
