Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the residence permit had to be renewed on the basis of family life with the Swiss child and Art. 8 ECHR / Art. 13 BV.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The public interest in removal prevailed because of repeated serious criminality, failed integration, and welfare dependence; the child relationship did not outweigh these factors.
Extrahierte Begründung
The applicant had repeatedly offended, including a conviction for qualified drug trafficking, was still serving a prison sentence, had received several warnings, and had long depended on social assistance. Swiss child interests are relevant but not decisive under Art. 8 ECHR when serious public-order concerns exist.
