Koning, Petra de, Schools react cramped to abuse incidents - No goodnight kiss; translated from: NRC 24 October 1998
Behavior codes, protocols, rules about taking a child on your lap. Teachers try to protect themselves against suspicions. They are afraid. It is difficult for them to recognize child sexual abuse.
Lammers, Marijke, Fear of touching hits
also students and patients; translated from
De Volkskrant, 29 oktober 1998
Because of the growing attention to sexual abuse, more and more teachers and professional helpers suffer of 'fear of touching'. Marijke Lammers sounds a warning note not to make more and more severe rules. By so doing, the problem will be hidden, not resolved.
