Every 2 days, juvenile judges remove a baby from an unsafe home situation: “We stand there and watch it. And only after the birth do we press the emergency button.”

Every two days the juvenile judge removes a baby from a disturbing home situation. 46 newborn babies even ended up in hospital. For medical reasons, but also because no one could take care of them. “Almost every week there is a baby waiting in hospital in Flanders,” said Vooruit chairman Conner Rousseau, who requested the figures and wants to implement his long-awaited change in the law by the summer. “This is further proof that we need to intervene during pregnancy.”
