What will happen to this child if I report on his/her family?
Such reports will typically be made to either the police and/or the local youth welfare office (Jugendamt). The resulting consequences are highly case-specific and will depend inter alia on the gravity of the violent act(s). Generally, however, all entities are bound by the principle of proportionality so that each child will receive aid that is adequate in the given situation.
