Sažetak
Removing children from families and placing them in another family or institution is one of the protective measures for children whose development has been threatened, and is carried out by centres for social welfare.In this paper the authors give a descriptive analysis of characteristics concerning the removal of 34 children from 19 families in a period of three years (2000 – 2002), as well as of the practical difficulties occurring during social welfare interventions. The results indicate that children have mostly been removed from repeatedly problematic families, which did not receive adequate help and support in time and that the centre for social welfare is confronted with a series of practical difficulties in dealing with child protection. In conclusion, the authors stress the need for encouraging the establishment of private social welfare services, especially in the field of providing support and aid for families in which children's normal development has been threatened.
