In the exam (German)
Was darf das Jugendamt in Deutschland?
- aIt decides which school the child attends.Es entscheidet, welche Schule das Kind besucht.
- bIt can take a child who is beaten or has to go hungry out of the family.Es kann ein Kind, das geschlagen wird oder hungern muss, aus der Familie nehmen.Correct answer
- cIt pays child benefit to the parents.Es bezahlt das Kindergeld an die Eltern.
- dIt checks whether the child attends a kindergarten.Es kontrolliert, ob das Kind einen Kindergarten besucht.
Why?
The youth welfare office protects children. If a child is beaten, has to go hungry or is in danger in some other way, the youth welfare office may take the child out of the family and place it somewhere safe (Inobhutnahme, taking into care). Child benefit, on the other hand, is not paid by the youth welfare office but by the Family Benefits Office (Familienkasse) of the Federal Employment Agency.
