Comparing shared residence across Europe? Check the definition, age range and survey year first. A custody label is not a measure of nights spent in each home. #FamilyJustice #EUFamilyLaw

Inobhutnahme figures count protective interventions—not proof that every intervention was justified. Accountability needs reasons, review outcomes and support offered. #Jugendamt #FamilyJustice
