17-year-olds awakened from coma after overdosis of drugs-police investigated!

In the federal capital of Vienna there are concerns of worrying: A 17-year-old Lower Austrian who was admitted from an apartment in Simmering to the AKH on Sunday evening has now awakened from a coma. The young teenager was seriously injured and under the influence of drugs when the rescue workers were alerted. According to Puls24 it was reanimated by the professional rescue and is now being supervised, with its condition stable.

The police initiated an investigation due to the events on suspicion of rape against four men. These men, Syrian origin and between the ages of 21 and 35, had recorded the 17-year-old in her apartment. However, they deny any sexual acts and claim that they only offered the girl a place to sleep after they got to know them on the street. A man had called the rescue on Sunday at 9:10 p.m. after the teens were found motionless in their apartment.

The circumstances of the crime

The ongoing investigations are supported by evaluating mobile phone data from the accused. This investigation could provide decisive information about the events during the girl's stay in the apartment. Before she disappeared on Friday, friends had reported that the 17-year-old had made questionable hints that could indicate a possible attack. The police are planning to ask the young people to bring light into the darkness of the night in which they were found unconscious.

The four men live together in the apartment in question, while the fourth perpetrator, who is described as a friend, added the group. The police are now facing the challenge of determining the truth behind the contradictory statements. In the meantime, the 17-year-old is not unrelated by the suspicion of drug addiction: even before this incident she was known for drug offenses, which makes the situation all the more complicated.

social debate about youth crime

These sad events throw a shady light on the growing problems of youth crime, not only in Vienna, but also in all of Austria and Germany. Statistics show a worrying increase in youth violence, which achieved a maximum of around 13,800 cases in Germany in 2024. Part of these problems can be attributed to the psychological stress by the corona measures and the living conditions of young people, as reported by the Federal Statistical Office . What makes this topic particularly shattering is the high number of male youthful perpetrators who can be found in conflicts and serious crimes.

increased attention to prevention is now required to prevent such tragedies. The events related to the girl from Vienna remind us that behind violence and abuse there is a human fate. How the situation around the young Lower Austrian will develop remains to be seen, but the hope remains that the investigation will quickly lead to clarification.
