Default Living in the woods

A family living in the woods have had their children put into care by the authorities.
In such a bureaucratic country I dont know how it is possible to avoid contact with the authorities.
If they send the children to school they can get on with their lives without interference. The locals seem sympathetic to the family.

Remember the 'lost tribe' living in the Scottish Borders?

If the Kingdom of Kubala arrived in the Abruzzo I doubt that the mayor would offer them a selection of properties.

The children weren't removed because they were "living in the woods", they were removed because the home they were living in was “dilapidated, in terrible hygienic conditions and lacking the necessary utilities”, and specifically “has no toilet facilities”, among other things. It was also noted that the children do not attend school, but I am not sure what the status or arrangements are in Italy for parents to "home school" their children.

The mother doesnt want the children in school or vaccinated. I dont see why the children needed to be put in care. Both sides have to come to an agreement The children will have to go to school so they can integrate into Italian society. When they are adults they can decide if the want social isolation.

You apparently missed the bit about their home being unsanitary and grossly inadequate for permanent habitation.
