| Facts of the case | Father has been convicted for violence and aggression towards his children. After release, he continues to terrorize his family. His daughter herself begins to show offensive behaviour and asks to be protected against her farther. She is taken away from the care of her parents and placed into an institution on the order of a court. |
| Analysis | The Commission makes clear that the decision to place the daughter out of home was based on the Youth Protection Act and in the interests of the child. Consequently, the infringement of the right to family life is legitimized because all requirements of Article 8 § 2 have been fulfilled. |
