Explanation
The Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt) is responsible for protecting the well-being of children and adolescents. If a child is in a dangerous situation, such as being abused or neglected, the Youth Welfare Office has the authority to take measures to protect the child, including temporarily removing the child from the family. This is done under the Child and Youth Welfare Act, which outlines the rights and responsibilities of the Youth Welfare Office.
