Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court erred by refusing interim child placement with the applicants during the pending child protection proceedings.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The refusal was not arbitrary; the child’s welfare justified leaving the child with the mother for the duration of the proceedings.
Extrahierte Begründung
Although the legality of the January 10, 2012 intervention remained unclear, the Federal Court found that the applicants did not establish that the child necessarily had to be returned to them. The mother’s situation was assessed as sufficiently stable, while the father faced expulsion and the grandparents’ suitability was unclarified.
