          Does anyone think that "fra" sounds like "ifra" in this sentence?

            I think it sounds more like "af fra" ... Which sound, in some how, correct

                No, that's ‘barn’.

                      Shouldn't this be with "sine" as in His children, not some other guy's children (hans)

                      No: "De tager sine børn fra ham" would mean, "They take their (own) children from him."

                              would 'they will take his children from him' also be an acceptable answer?

                                I mean, technically, but usually when you would say something is going to take place in the future you add a few extra words for context.

                                Maybe no drama is implied in this phrase, though it does give me the impression. Undskyld for ikke at kunne sige dette på dansk :)
