In November 2010 a motion was passed by Richard de Mos the MP for the Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Dutch House of Representatives to recover this damage from the fraudulent childminder agency instead of from parents who acted in good faith. The Minister of Social Affairs Henk Kamp wrote in a letter to the House that this was not legally possible and that parents could hold the childminder agency liable under private law. The childminder agency had been bankrupt for six months at that time.[1]
