Truancy is intentional, unjustified, unauthorized, or illegal absence from compulsory education. Its absence is caused by students of their own free will and does not apply to excused absences. In Germany local child services or social services officers may request the police to escort the child to school, and in extreme cases may petition a court to partially or completely remove child custody from the parents.

I dont think it should be criminalized however with excessive truancy there should be an attempt made by the school to find the cause and fix the issue at hand
@B2L3WZG3wks3W
Depends on reasoning for truancy, ultimately though, it is the parents fault and the kid should not be punished
@B2928TV1mo1MO
It shouldn’t be criminalized, but there should still be regulations in place so students can have a proper education.
@B28S5CK2mos2MO
Partially, the psychotherapy to the child should be applied (you don’t exactly know the reasons why this child does that and from what background does the child come from)
@B279GJ32mos2MO
Yes, but have regulations in place ensuring that the child meets the standard levels for education. SEN students should have more support, especially in terms of social security.
@9LZP5VQ10mos10MO
I don't think that the government should have much of a stance on whether it should be legal or not. It should be by the school district.
@9LZHSM210mos10MO
Depends on students background and what they are dealing with, education aside, in their personal life
@9LJSLM610mos10MO
No, there should be help and assistance provided to truant students who are struggling with issues such as health problems or living situations.
