Child removal from the family is a family law protective measure by which the child is separated from extremely bad and inadequate conditions that harm his health and development. Although it is not easy, it is important to estimate as well as possible when this form of intervention in family life is necessary and timely. When we talk about child removal from the family, it is most often about children who are continuously abused and neglected by their parents and about children with behavioral problems. When the necessary decision is made and the child is removed from the family, it is important to find an adequate form of care as soon as possible until the reasons why the child was removed are eliminated in the family or in the child. If it turns out that returning to the family is not in accordance with the child's best interests, it is important to provide the child with a long-term form of accommodation. Being separated from the family and placed with unknown people or in an unfamiliar environment can have negative consequences for the child, so it is important to talk to the child continuously, guide him through the entire process in accordance with his age and provide him with support when necessary. The role of social workers is crucial and therefore they must be familiar with the legal framework, the family picture, available forms of support in the community, but also with child psychology and development. In this area of family legal protection, there are various challenges and difficulties that still need to be worked on in order to improve it.
