broken garment hook

My rotten kid broke the garment hook in my car, it won't stay up anymore... Any ideas how to fix it or at least remove it to see the issue?
Thanks

fixed my own problem

Just in case anyone else has rotten kids that like to push buttons.....

1. there is a little trap door that hides a tox bolt to remove the hanger. I used a little paper clip with a hook at one end to pull it down.
After removal i noticed a little metal "U" shaped hook on the back of the hanger. It is held in place with a little black clip. Well, the hook was leaning over to one side. It should fit straight down into a little hole at one end, and the other end rides in a groove inside the hanger to lock it in the up position. I needed to shine a flashlight in the hole to see how it works, but the key was the little metal u shaped part leaning over. Works as new now......
Hope this helps someone

Mine is doing the same thing and I have never had any kids or anyone else screwing with it (and the vehicle was bought new and is just 6 months old).

Just seems like something else that is not very well built on these cars...

I will take your advice to see if I can get mine working.
