Single mom has to go to the hospital – where to take the child?

Hello, a good friend of mine probably has to go to the hospital. She is a single parent and has no one for the child. What would happen to the child if she couldn’t secure the care?

The question is formulated so that the woman has no one for the child. So an answer is like "she can ask her mother or the child’s father" not effective.

In such a case, the state child relief service is responsible. There are short-term care options there. If the single mother is not available for a longer period of time, the youth welfare office looks for a foster family for the child.
