Security Guard Requests Police to Remove Family with Baby from City Hall
A homeless couple with a five-month-old baby sought refuge in the Utrecht City Hall lobby to draw attention to their situation, prompting security to call the police. Jawad, a bus and tram driver, and his wife Majda had been living in their car after leaving an overcrowded home. Although initially detained, they were eventually placed in a city-center hotel for the night. The family belongs to the group of 'hidden homeless,' individuals not registered in official shelters. While the municipality expressed regret over acute homelessness involving minors, it emphasized that resources are limited and each case is assessed individually for tailored support.
