Why?
In Germany, the parents are mainly responsible for bringing up their children – this is in Article 6 of the Basic Law (Grundgesetz). The state only keeps watch, for example through the youth welfare office (Jugendamt) if a child is in danger. Relatives and schools can help, but the responsibility stays with the parents.
