motions on organised sadistic child abuse, background information

Under this tab you will find information on the two motions concerning the investigation of organised sadistic child abuse in the Netherlands, which were submitted to the Lower House in 2020 and 2021. The first one was adopted unanimously, the second one was rejected.

If you want to find out more about the background to these motions, under this tab you will find all the information, including:
