Friese Municipalities Seek Change in Youth Care

Dutch municipalities are worried about a new plan for young people needing care. They say it costs too much and is like the old system. This is causing a debate about money and how to help young people.

Several Dutch municipalities are asking the Parliament for a different way to help young people who need care. Many traditional youth care facilities have closed. This has led to young people staying in temporary homes. These homes cost a lot of money, up to one million euros per child. The municipalities want to work with doctors and other professionals to solve the problems and support families.
