Dutch to Open Electronic Files on Children

The Dutch government plans to open an electronic file on every child at birth as a tool to spot and protect the troubled kids of the future.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2007, all citizens will be tracked from cradle to grave in a single database — including health, education, family and police records — the health ministry said Tuesday.

As a privacy safeguard, no single person or agency will be able to access all contents of a file. But organizations can raise "red flags" in the dossier to caution other agencies about problems, ministry spokesman Jan Brouwer said.

The intention is to protect troubled children, Brouwer said. Until now, schools and police have been unable to communicate with each other about truancy records and criminality, which are often linked.

"Child protection services will say, 'Hey, there's a warning flag from the police. There's another one from school. There's another one from the doctor," Brouwer said. "Something must be going on and it's time to call the parents in for a meeting."

Every child will get a Citizens Service Number, making it easier to keep track of children with problems even when their families move, said Secretary of Health Clemence Ross.

"Safety, guidance, education and supervision are incredibly important for the development of children," Ross said.

All Dutch births are currently registered with local authorities.

I think they need to be keeping a closer watch on the non-citizens

This is all because the authorities don't want to, or cannot, rely on traditional structures like "Mom" and "Dad" to watch out for the kid themselves.

Remember, it takes a family not a village!

Nice tag by the way :D

Yup, the state has abolished the family and then the state will be able to take the place of the family. It's disgusting.

Yeah. And they can't be bothered to prosecute three glaringly guilty men of the murder of Natalee Holloway. Holland is a sh*thole of Eurolefty insanity. Let it sink.

I'm new at posting. How do I edit my post? I see I was repetitive at the beginning of the article.

Welcome to FR, Tennessee Girl.

You cannot edit the original - that is why there is the preview feature. But you can always ask one of the admin moderators nicely - address is

But a duplicate phrase in the article above is probably not worth riling them up, tho...

"It's for the children" is the first thing the fascists always say.
