Tensions between justice department and mental healh department.



The cooperation between justice department and mental health should be improved. Right now police, public ministery and health care are not cooperating in the Netherlands. A new pilot project in Friesland, The Netherlands  were police, public ministry and care takers cooperate,, inspired by similar centers in San Diego in the US proves that cooperation is much more human to the victim and makes investigation into the crime zone more efficient. The Netherlands want to cut the subsidy for these centers. At the same time they want to exclude victims of sexual abuse from getting mental health care, claiming that the damage they incurred is purely fysical.  This article states that such governemental decisions are contrary to the International Childrens Rights.
