Inspection Demands Houten Youth Care Facility Remove Cameras
The Dutch Inspectorate of Health and Youth (IGJ) has ordered the De Grote Geer facility in Houten to remove six surveillance cameras from common areas by October 1, citing privacy violations and lack of legal basis. The facility's owner, Wim Diepeveen, argues the cameras enhance safety by deterring impulsive behavior but refused previous removal orders to pursue a court case. A hearing is scheduled for November 3 to determine if the cameras must be permanently removed.
