Human rights activists: Children`s rights have become a tool of destruction of family in Germany
Zhilenkov stated that Russia must learn the results of German family policy over recent decades as the system of forced foster care in Germany took root under the pretext of good intentions, with preventing violence within the family as its stated goal.

The human rights activist directed attention to a nearly twofold increase in the number of children taken from their families over the past 20 years, according to German statistics: from 23,432 children in 1995 to 42,123 children in 2013.
