The most accurate response regarding the interaction of the Ottomans with Christian families in the Balkans is: They trained sons as Muslim soldiers, and they took daughters as slaves.
This refers to the devshirme system, where Christian boys were recruited and converted to Islam to serve in the military (often becoming Janissaries), while girls could be taken into service, often being placed in the households of wealthy Ottoman families.
