The psychiatrists there had not believed her story that her baby had been stolen by the Dutch state and that she had written a letter to the queen and the queen had promised to help her. Aside from her odd terminology, it was completely true. I got to visit her and talk to the doctor who was in charge of her treatment. I set up a small network of friends who could care for her in the Hague and neighbourhood. I was struck by the enormous similarities between the very disparate cases of José Booij, Kevin Sweeney, and Lucia de Berk (“JKL”). In each case, this was a person who had had a traumatic childhood, had overcome those difficulties, and thanks to hard work and natural gifts were really making something of their lives.
My lawyer protested against the judge using simple prejudice as a justification for my baby being taken away, but the judge flatly stated that she made the decisions in her court. This was a closed court; no journalist or outsider is allowed in the court in Holland. There is no stenographer, you are not allowed to make tape recordings or write down a transcript of the proceedings. The courts accept without question anything a government representative says.
Both were concerned about the mother’s state of mind. She was mentally confused, had money worries and became exhausted. She stopped feeding the baby at night, punished the baby by ignoring her and expressed fear of harming the child. In the end, the Child Protection Board had the girl removed, because there were doubts about Booij’s mental condition. The family doctor in Elim had made the diagnosis borderline – without seeing Booij, incidentally.
The nurse stated, “I saw Booij getting thinner, she was getting increasingly exhausted and confused. If anything had happened and I had not done anything, then I would have been sorry”. Furthermore, Jeugdrecht should know that José loved her child very much, took great care of her, and fought like a tigress to protect her. I recently read a report from Child Protection Services itself, about how Julia Lynn behaved in the first months after being placed with foster parents. Like everyone else, José was a barrel full of contradictions.
The AD noted that maturation is related to oil and fat becoming rancid, which is a process accelerated by oxygen and heat; while the presence of certain harmful microorganisms is caused by poor hygiene. We therefore do not expect any similarities between these different types of spoilage. Vollaard seems to think that “maturation” is so subjective that the panel can shift indefinitely between the “average”, “strong” and “spoiled” classes to favour Atlantic fishing traders. However, it is not obvious that the classifications “ripening” and “cleaning” are as subjective as Vollaard wants to make it appear. Vollaard allows himself the proposition that the panel members have misused the subjective factors (consciously or unconsciously) to benefit Atlantic customers. They would have consistently awarded Atlantic customers higher valuations than can be justified on the basis of their research.
Since bishop Vincentius strongly contributed to the conceptualization of the past and Polish identity, he should not be overlooked in the contemporary discourse on national security. It uses an incomprehensible language, that is, incomprehensible to probabilists, but a language sanctioned by evolution. We have few cases of convictions that were found to be wrong in the Netherlands. According to Ton Derksen, in the Netherlands about 10% of very long term prisoners (very serious cases) are innocent.

The main objective of this article is, therefore, to demonstrate that making sense of one's own world is itself a transcultural endeavour. Third, regional differences in the quality and taste of herring are quite possible, but these differences cannot be explained by differences in the measured characteristics of the herring. There can be large regional differences between consumer tastes. The taste of the permanent panel members (two herring masters and a journalist) does not have to be everyone’s taste.
As if the authorities were provoking it, she kept smashing her own windows in. Walked away angry or yelled instead of meekly playing along. Time and again, she received support from an old or a new friend, from a lawyer or from her old therapist Beata Bakker. Beata had the genial idea that José and the biological father could act together as if they wanted to raise the child together.
