✓ Correct Answer
It can take a child who is beaten or goes hungry from the family.
The correct answer is: "It can take a child who is beaten or goes hungry from the family." Article 6 of the Basic Law places marriage and family under the special protection of the state. The care and upbringing of children is the natural right of parents and, first and foremost, their duty.
