"Jeugdzorg ontvoert jongetje" (Prof Arnold Heertje)

"Jeugdzorg ontvoert jongetje"

Op 9 mei verschijnt van mijn hand een nieuw boek met de titel Economie. Daarin geef ik een positiever beeld van de economische wetenschap dan tegenwoordig gebruikelijk is. Reeksen misverstanden worden weerlegd. Aan de andere kant wordt ook blootgelegd wat er aan schort op de werkvloer van de Nederlandse samenleving. Het afschuwelijkste dossier is de jeugdzorg.

Bureaucratie, inhumanisering, een doorgeschoten calculatiecultuur en overmatige regelgeving in de zorg, het onderwijs en de woningsector. Een van de afschuwelijkste dossiers is de jeugdzorg. Tot zover ziet deze sector kans het inhumane optreden van bestuurders, gezinsvoogden, pleegouders, de Raad voor de Kinderbescherming en de bureaus Jeugdzorg aan het oog van de samenleving te onttrekken door een beroep op privacy. Het Bureau Jeugdzorg in Amsterdam onder leiding van de legendarische oud-gemeentesecretaris Erik Gerritsen verspreidt brieven waarop staat ‘Ieder kind veilig’. In feite worden door bestuurders en medewerkers kinderen als objecten behandeld, die geld opleveren en werkgelegenheid bieden.

In het boek Economie laat ik zien hoezeer perverse prikkels een gedrag uitlokken van medewerkers op de werkvloer dat niet past in een vredelievende en humane samenleving.

Unicef-VietnamAdoption law must improve to protect children

Adoption law must improve to protect children Vietnam’s laws on child adoption have been improved and brought closer in line with international standards, especially in the case of foreign adopting parents, but further improvement is needed. The information was heard at a conference in Hanoi on April 4. The discussion was co-organised by the Ministry of Justice and the United Nations Children’s Fund to review three years of implementing the Law on Adoption and two years of executing The Hague Convention of Child Protection and International Cooperation in Child Protection. Participants pointed out several difficulties in adopting children at home and abroad, such as defining suitable parents, profiling orphans and conducting the necessary procedures for adoption. They agreed that the Vietnamese Government should continue perfecting its regulations on adoption, and strengthen coordination between ministries and sectors in order to effectively implement the Law on Adoption and The Hague Convention. They also stressed the need to publicise guidance on the law to raise the public’s awareness, and invest in technology application to serve the State management in child adoption.
