Children Ombudsman: One in Nine Children Grows up in Poverty

Children ombudsman Marc Dullaert has said that one in nine children in The Netherlands grows up in poverty. He added that children tell that they have not sufficient to eat and that there are no good cloths or that they are afraid that the electricity will be cut off. He added that these are basic issues of which one may expect that they are available. He expects to present this summer his conclusions on what should be done to deal with the problem.
