[Between family-oriented help and child protection--interventions within the scope of the child and youth aid law: an unsolvable dilemma?].
The new child care and protection legislation (German Social Aid) emphasises the support of the parents' responsibility for education. In addition, it includes separate provisions and opportunities for counseling and supporting young children and adolescents in crisis situations. Finally, it requires the Youth Welfare Office to inform the Guardianship Court if a legal decision is required to avert a threat of the child's welfare. In the process of making the complex precise and responsible decision on the prognosis for the child, the experts from the Youth Welfare Office mus decide weather to respond to a threat to the child with family-oriented support, of with intervention concerning parental care that will usually lead to the separation of the child from its social setting.
