New child protection law aims to strengthen families rather than divide them | Germany | Deutsche Welle | 14.12.2010: "The government has decided that the best way to help children at risk of abuse is to intervene early on. But critics question whether there's enough money behind the plans.
The German minister for families, Kristina Schroeder, presented a new child protection bill to parliament on Tuesday. It aims to provide support for problem families who show signs of stress and a tendency towards neglect, rather than put children into care, a practice which has increased by 81% in the last 4 years according to the German Association for Child Protection.
'With the new child protection law, I think we will establish a strong network to protect our children - a network which puts the wellbeing of the child in the centre, which relieves families in stressful situations and therefore protects children who are at risk and which makes us all responsible for protecting children,' Schroeder said at a press conference."
