"De tager hans børn fra ham."

Translation: They take his children from him.

What has he done wrong? Why are they taking his children?
This is serious stuff; we need explanations!

[Rina_Irina]

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

[NikhilSurya]

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

[MarianoAhu1]

Børn isn't the singular form?

[TobyBartels]

No, that's ‘barn’.

Thank you

[livvyyy97]

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

[Da_maul]

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.

What does this sentence really mean?

They are taking his children from him
