“...the scandal that preceded it has a curiously Dutch feel. Their failure? Mismanagement of the country’s complex child benefit system. Thousands of parents have been driven to financial ruin. A parliamentary committee looking into the tax office fiasco last month labelled it an ‘unprecedented injustice’; unblinking criticism which Rutte took on the nose, describing it as ‘fair’ when announcing his cabinet’s resignation to the world.

Over the last decade, some 20,000 parents had been incorrectly labelled as fraudsters by the tax office — sometimes for the most minor mistakes in child benefit forms — and chased for every cent ever claimed. With ‘debts’ in the tens of thousands of euros, some lost their homes, marriages, jobs, and even children. “

Methinks this is about child trafficking, at its core. The Netherlands is a hub.

That was my immediate thought also. Human trafficking. The Guardian mentioned that many families involved were impoverished and minority, “which implied racism was involved.”

Hmm...that...and something much, much worse.
