Answer
- B It can take a child who is beaten or has to go hungry out of the family.
Explanation
If a child is in danger, for example because it is beaten or has to go hungry, the youth welfare office may take it into care and temporarily remove it from the family (Section 42 of Book VIII of the Social Code). The family court decides on any permanent withdrawal of custody. Child benefit is paid by the family benefits office, and parents choose the school.
