Hélène van Beek worked as an investigative journalist, and was a member of the VVOJ (Dutch association of investigative journalists). The author worked on the Dutch version of this book [‘Kinderen van de Staat’] for three years. In the process, she interviewed many adolescents and their parents, care workers and experts from the youth care sector, as well as juvenile lawyers. She consulted all current research and literature. By filing a WOB request (Government Information (Public Access) Act) and talking with key sources, she uncovered secret information about a controversial tender for closed youth care.
