The youth welfare office takes a family's children into care. The parents defend themselves, saying there is no reason for this. Your file shows: There are many reasons. But are they enough to separate parents and children from each other?
On October 23, 2021, the Frankfurter Rundschau published an article with the headline: “Children taken by the police in the morning – family fights for custody”. In one picture, a couple of parents hold a photo of their children up to the camera. Five smiling faces, next to a self-made snowman. 37-year-old Yvonne K. and 44-year-old Waheed K. look deeply affected. According to the article, the youth welfare office had taken their children Arian (15), Mattheo (13), Leon (12), Noemi (7) and Grace (6) away from them about three months earlier. The parents' lawyer is quoted as saying that the authorities' actions were completely excessive and disproportionate.
