Legal problems of extrajudicial removal of a child: Soviet legacy, current state and legislative prospects

The article analyzes such a measure as the removal of a child by decision of the guardianship and trusteeship authorities, which was allowed in 1927–1968, after which it was canceled, and since 1996 it has returned to family law and has become allowed not in all cases of inappropriate parental behavior, but only if there is an immediate threat to the life and health of the child. An assessment is also given of bills devoted to reforming the norms of the Family Code of the Russian Federation on the removal of a child by decision of the guardianship and trusteeship authorities. The article presents arguments in favor of the legislative idea of the need to deprive guardianship and trusteeship authorities of the powers to independently extrajudicially remove a child from the family and leave these powers only to police officers.
