SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL – Stories of families increasing their ranks by adopting children from distant lands could soon become commonplace in Brazil.

"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.

Dear Catherine, Simon,

Recently there is an increased push from the US side to impose their views and policies onto the EU. Just heard there is a Round Table at the EP this afternoon about the US Children in Adversity Initiative.
