Many Family Courts are siding with the abusers

"Experts estimate that that more than 58 000 are ordered by family courts into unsupervised contact with sexually and physically abusing parents".

Same story as in Aruba??

Is the world at war with our children? We need an international network to save the children!

Thanks to AD the Dutch government wants to investigate Demmink

Minister Ivo Opstelten van Veiligheid en Justitie moet in een brief opheldering geven over zijn hoogste ambtenaar, Joris Demmink. Dat willen Kamerleden van VVD, PvdA, SP, CDA en 50Plus naar aanleiding van getuigenissen in het AD over contacten van de Justitietopman met een pooier van minderjarige jongens.

Minister of justice  I. Opstelten is asked to react

on the Demmink case by the diffrent Dutch Party's

VVD, PvdA, SP, CDA en 50Plus !

PVV-Europarlementariër Lucas Hartong gaat een flinke stap verder. Hij eist 'een onafhankelijk en diepgaand onderzoek en heeft een commissie van het Europees Parlement gevraagd de zaak-Demmink op de agenda te zetten.

PVV-Europe parlementarian Lucas Hartong demands a full investigation and asks the European Parliament to put the case Demmink on the agenda.

AD shows courage investigating Dutch top official suspected of abuse and sex traffic of minors.

The  newspaper AD (Algemeen Dagblad) in the Nederlands has the courage to publish on the 6th of October 2012 about Joris Demmink, top official in the Nerherlands who has planned to resign this month. Since 2003 Demmink  is strongly suspected of sexual abuse of boys  but apparently has held the Dutch justice system in his iron grip til now. During his office time he appointed many prosecutors. I can imagine them to be heavily influenced by  Demmink. Let's hope justice will finally prevail and that the victims of childabuse will have more rights in the future as well in The Netherlands,  the  Dutch  Carribean and Aruba (status aparte) which still has a mainly Dutch Public Ministry and Court.

I admire the fact that AD has been actively searching for wittnesses who can testify that Joris Demmink is  involved in abuse and sex trafficing of minors. Formerly other newspapers have been  threatened by the powerful top official. I wish  the journalists and the editors of AD succes !

Does a pedophyle network rule the Netherlands and Aruba?

Two months ago the Dutch newspaper Amigoe on Aruba promised me for the 3th time an interview. This 3th time I had  intensive e-mail contact with the editor of the Amigoe. She promised me to publish my blog  so the people of Aruba could react and tell their stories anonymously. Suddenly the contact stopped. My blog was never published and got, as you see, no comments. What happened to the enthusiastic editor??
In the Nerherlands I am fighting for my book to get proper publicity. People love reading my book, but few newspapers have the guts to publish on the content. The newspaper De Stentor was very courageous and published a big interview. But many other newspapers choose to ignore my book and the rightless children on Aruba: 
Het Tijdschrift Kindermishandeling TKM ( Paper specialized on Childabuse!) never published my interview with freelance journalist Ditty Eimers. I told TKM beginning 2011 what happened on Aruba but got no reaction. TKM is connected to Unicef.nl. Unicef knows my book and they know what happens on Aruba but they keep their stories about the Dutch Antilles nice and palatable, speaking about poverty, drugs and teenage mothers. Nobody seems to want to help the children of Aruba who have no rights, many of them victims of sexual abuse and exploitation.  During my work as a child psychiatrist on Aruba I saw that the police and officials are either corrupt or scared. I had the distinct feeling that something was rotten at the top, not only in Aruba but also in the Netherlands. Today the father of a patient of mine brought me this article in AD published the 24th of August:

Angry Americans indicate that their is ungoing evidence that Joris Demmink, the highest  court judge in the Netherlands is accused of abusing young boys. This is the rotten top I felt working in the field of Aruba. Joris Demmink is probably just one of them. How can we get rid of this strangling pedophile network?

The first step is publicity and international pressure. It is an outrage that people who could do the right thing look away and allow these things to happen!

No importa la edad tuya. 16 Juli 2012  I read your book, outstanding, sublime. Many put their heads in the sand and give negative comments. But the truth always hurts. Those who are involved maintain  an ostrich policy. I know how the young are  treated.  I scream and am not heard. It's a fight against those who abuse their power and cover up their crimes. What can we do here on Aruba to help our children?  Edith Kervezee
Ik heb je boek gelezen uitstekend subliem. Velen hier steken hun kop in het zand en geef negatieve commentaar. Maar de waarheid doet altijd pijn. Wie ermee te maken hebben spelen stuisvogel. Ik weet hoe de jongeren behandeld worden en geschreewd ik ben nog steeds bezig om gehoor te krijgen maar is vechten tegen mensen die misbruik maken van hun macht en waar alles in de doof pot gaat. Wat kunnen wij hier op Aruba doen voor onze jongeren? Edith Kervezee
