The three daughters of a Böheimkirchen (Lower Austria) family were taken away by the youth welfare office - two of them when the mother was in hospital for weeks. "The accusations are unfounded," the couple fights back. 

In a place where three children should be a hive of activity, there is currently silence. Christine and Gerhard G. are currently living alone in their house in Böheimkirchen in the district of St. Pölten. The girls (1, 4, 9) have been taken away by the youth welfare office. "It's been a horrendous few months for us", say the couple.
