Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • German federal police transferred a two-month-old infant to the Reutlingen youth welfare office after checking a family on a bus near Kirchdorf am Inn.
  • Authorities had issued a notice seeking the child’s whereabouts and taking the infant into care after a court removed the mother’s right to determine the child’s residence.
  • The parents continued their journey after the handover.

A two-month-old infant was taken into care after German federal police checked a family on a coach near Kirchdorf am Inn in Bavaria’s Rottal-Inn district.

Police said the child welfare office in Reutlingen had issued a search notice concerning the 35-year-old mother, seeking to establish the child’s whereabouts and place the infant in care. The Reutlingen district court had previously removed the mother’s right to determine the child’s residence.

Officers checked the mother, her 39-year-old partner and their child on Friday. They contacted the on-call service of the Rottal-Inn district youth welfare office, which sent staff to the checkpoint and accepted custody of the infant. The parents then continued their journey.
