Fiona runs happily towards her mother and wraps her small arms around her. The four and a half year old also hugs people she has never seen before. Due to her disability, she cannot distinguish between the familiar and the unfamiliar and therefore cannot keep boundaries. Everyday life is particularly difficult for Fiona’s mother because she is a single parent and her child needs more attention than others. If Fiona went to kindergarten, Anna P. would be relieved and could go back to work. But no day-care center wants to take in their severely disabled daughter. Anna P. from Mitte is desperate. And her fate is not an isolated case in Berlin.
