The Central Appeals Tribunal - one of the Netherlands' highest administrative courts - has recently decided that municipalities cannot force children living away from home to care for their family. The judge condemned the municipality of Etten-Leur, where local authorities had terminated a care-dependent woman's personal budget (PGB), a government subsidy that people can spend on personalized health care. With the money, she payed her daughter to clean the house. According to the municipality, the daughter should do that for free, as a voluntary care giver.

Here is the press release.
