I see no mention of her parents. Where were they in all this? Or was she made a ward of the state so they couldn’t intervene while the state encouraged her to permit herself to be murdered?

Something truly smells here.

I wonder if there has been any action or demonstration against this by the Dutch themselves. Surely, not all of them are comfortable with a “mercy killing” of a mentally troubled teen.

"...legal euthanasia..."


What a tragic story about a confused, mismanaged, and unfortunate poor kid. Just horrible.

Arthur Seyss-Inquart mounted a spirited defense at the Nuremberg trials. But his five-year administration of Nazi-conquered Holland was to send him to the gallows. He claimed that his administration eased problems and shortages for the Dutch and he was able to rationalize many of his shocking decisions. After his death sentence he returned to the Roman Catholic Church and received its sacraments.

I first set foot in Holland in 1983 and I loved the place. But these continuing euthanasia cases are absolutely sickening. They constitute, along with American infanticide, a real obvious sign of the death of Western Christian culture.

I wonder if Corrie ten Boom is rolling over in her grave.

"Modern day human sacrifice"

That is exactly right. She likely was angry with her attackers. Which it's clearly more important protect diversity then for justice and help for victims.

Dear God, please have mercy on this innocent girl’s soul and welcome her into Your heavenly kingdom, in Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

Don't mean to make light of rape trauma but if people can recover from a car crash and a year in traction and rehabilitation, it should be possible to recover from rape too.
17 years is too young to make that kind of decision.
There must be a better way. Many better ways.

While the Dutch punched way above their weight in terms of ensuring 75% of Dutch Jews were killed and enlisting in the Waffen SS at the highest rates of any conquered Western European country, it’s their looting of Jewish assets post-war, that really takes the cake:


http://www.jcpa.org/jl/vp412.htm
[Some commission reports have already been published. The Kordes Commission, which dealt with the LIRO bank, demonstrated in its final report an understanding of how cold the treatment of the remaining Jews by Dutch postwar governments had been, and recommended that payments now be made to the Jews for several wrongs. One of these involved the fact that the Dutch government did not return most of the taxes taken, without the knowledge of the owners, from looted Jewish accounts during World War II by Dutch tax authorities, including for years after the account owners had been gassed.

One major objection to the Kordes Commission’s conclusions concerns their opinion that it was correct to apply the Dutch inheritance tax laws to the fortunes of the murdered Jews. This subject could become an academic case study. It is a paradigm of how a normal law in a democratic country can become a perverse tool if applied in an extreme situation, particularly against a politically weak community. The Dutch government instituted its inheritance tax laws for a normal society in which the vast majority of people die a natural death. It then used these laws to appropriate money from the estates of a community which it had been unable to protect, 75 percent of whom were murdered over a two- to three-year period.]

People who wonder why European Jews who survived the Holocaust fled to Israel need to understand that European governments systematically looted their possessions in the post-war era. All that many Jews had left were memories. Their property had been stolen in its entirety, and there weren’t any homes to return to. So they took the plunge and left for Israel instead of continuing to struggle in countries hostile to their very existence.

According to a poster on Twitter, this story is false.

The girl requested euthanasia, unbeknownst to her parents, but was refused. Her parents requested shock treatments since psychiatry so far hadn’t helped her. That was refused, because she was too young.

The girl then just quit eating and died.

Odd that there is no information about the perpetrators.

Or how it came to be that she was raped when she was 11, 12 and 14 years old.

How did it come to be that she was raped when she was 11 years old, 12 years old, AND 14 years old?
