In this on-line article, a Dutch expert on CPS matters raised his concerns about the treatment of Martin by Dutch CPS already 5 months after his removal from home, as follows.

[Article extract faithfully translated from Dutch into English].

"A five-year-old child was traumatized after being placed out of home with police cars, the judge, forensic experts and a handful of child protectors. It has been strictly separated from the parents for five months without any form of contact, so it must be "severely emotionally damaged" by the parents, is the conclusion of the remedial educationalist. This case is currently being played out at Jeugdbescherming Amsterdam. The child is in fact autistic, but did not receive a five-month diagnostic examination at the child care institution, and thus accusations to the parents can be endlessly multiplied. According to Jeugdbescherming, the actual diagnosis will require at least half a year or more! This does not seem to represent assistance, but child abduction. For every six months that this child does not receive the correct diagnosis and treatment and rapid reunification with his parents, the psychological damage can be attributed to Jeugdbescherming personally. This is the face of child protection that many politicians and even journalists often do not see. People usually assume exceptional cases, but the failure of child protection in The Netherlands is structural. "
