René Hoksbergen on adoption and foster care

Emeritus professor and adoption expert René Hoksbergen has been approached by her biological parents to assist them in a case of youth care Groningen about the possible return of a seven-year-old girl. In his view, the child can return to her parents, who have since been fully rehabilitated, but youth care Groningen, which in the case is mainly guided by the view of Tonny Weterings (1), opposes this. In this interview, Hoksbergen explains how an outdated view of foster care and adoption care, especially in relation to the often underestimated aspect of the identity of the growing child, can hinder the well-being of the child in the long term.

Problems with adopted children

René Hoksbergen: The core of the matter is that both Femmie Juffer and Tonny Weterings are personally involved in their statements. (2) Juffer is an adoptive mother who obtained her doctorate with me. After that she went to Leiden and unfortunately it all went wrong. She worked together with professor van IJzendoorn, who has now been expelled from the university. As an adoptive mother, she has tried to demonstrate when adopting a foreign child how good that is for the child compared to children who remain in a comparative situation in the country of origin. Now the sad thing about her research and that is what I also blamed Frank Verhulst (3) thirty years ago, that she does not emphasize that if those children come here, all kinds of special problems arise and that we have to help adoptees with that. It does, however, provide information about this in certain analyses, for example, that they need help much more often - there is no other way because that just comes from that and a lot of other research - but how you should deal with those problems and what kind of problems they are, she says. nothing left. She does not come up with a specification of the problems and how to tackle them.

Peter Pannekoek receives plenty of support after a swipe at Rutte about 'state kidnappings'

Comedian Peter Pannekoek receives massive acclaim on social media after he called the out-of-home placements of children of benefit parents 'state kidnappings' in This was the news . He hit the nail on the head about the more than 1115 children who are still not at home, is the consensus. Both Peter's name and the hashtags #1115children and #stateabductions are trending on Twitter. MP Pieter Omtzigt has meanwhile argued for a hotline and an independent investigation.

“If one child is kidnapped tomorrow, the country will be ablaze. Do we have Amber Alerts, searches in forests'', said Peter on Thursday evening in front of 1.2 million viewers on NPO 1. Now there are 1115 children away from home, they have been 'working on it' for six months, but there is still no answer. single child at home, says Peter about Omtzigt's observation this week.

Six months ago, the cabinet acknowledged that more than 1115 children of parents who were victims of the allowance affair were placed out of their homes between 2015 and 2020 . The children ended up with a foster family or an institution. Prime Minister Mark Rutte called the matter "very serious" and promised to look into it carefully. It is mindblowing that the children have still not been reunited with their parents six months later, said Pannekoek.

,,It is said that there is a team on it, they are working hard on it,'' said the comedian. "Suppose there are fifty people in the inspectorate on this case, who can get one child back a week, can't they?" He does not understand that (until now) there is hardly any fuss about it. ,,I doubt all the time: either we don't realize how bad it is, or we realize it somewhere, but we just don't want to see it, because it's so bad'', says Peter.

Ukraine’s Propaganda War: International PR Firms, DC Lobbyists and CIA Cutouts

WASHINGTON DC — Since the Russian offensive inside Ukraine commenced on February 24, the Ukrainian military has cultivated the image of a plucky little army standing up to the Russian Goliath. To bolster the perception of Ukrainian military mettle, Kiev has churned out a steady stream of sophisticated propaganda aimed at stirring public and official support from Western countries.

The campaign includes language guides, key messages, and hundreds of propaganda posters, some of which contain fascist imagery and even praise Neo-Nazi leaders.

Behind Ukraine’s public relations effort is an army of foreign political strategists, Washington DC lobbyists, and a network of intelligence-linked media outlets.

Ukraine’s propaganda strategy earned it praise from a NATO commander who told the Washington Post, “They are really excellent in stratcom — media, info ops, and also psy-ops.” The Post ultimately conceded that “Western officials say that while they cannot independently verify much of the information that Kyiv puts out about the evolving battlefield situation, including casualty figures for both sides, it nonetheless represents highly effective stratcom.”

Key to the propaganda effort is an international legion of public relations firms working directly with Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to wage information warfare.

BACK HOME - Defense for Children

The challenge

Figures from Statistics Netherlands show that in 2019 more than 443,000 children received some form of youth care. Nearly 43,000 of these children received youth care with residence. More than 21,000 children have been taken in by a foster family (see the bottom of this page for an explanation). It is important to know that children are not simply placed out of the house. Before the out-of-home placement, less drastic help is first given to parents and their child. Only if this does not help enough, out-of-home placement becomes an option. In addition, where possible, efforts are made to return the child to his or her parents. These rights are enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Unfortunately, Defense for Children receives signals through the Children's Rights Helpdesk that out-of-home placement and return do not always go well.

What are we doing?

We investigate what goes well in the out-of-home placement of children and what could be improved. The aim of the project is to gain better insight into the practice of out-of-home placements. On the one hand, we want to get a grip on the good practices and, on the other hand, on the bottlenecks that stand in the way of preventing custodial placement and hinder relocation after custodial placement. Where necessary, we map out points for improvement and possible solutions.

During this project Defense for Children focuses on children aged 0 to 18 years who have been forcibly removed from their homes with the intervention of a juvenile court judge, on parents whose children have been removed from their homes and on professionals such as social workers and foster care workers.
