of that plan was the amendment of the National Ordinance on Compulsory
Education, for children 4 to 18 years, Ms. Leeflang

obligation of schools to report child abuse and the right of parents to
choose the instruction language of their child. Other examples of
achievements made by the Netherlands Antilles were efforts in the recognition
and funding of psychological treatment for children and a law adopted in
October 2008 aimed at protecting each child against child pornography
(including virtual images), prostitution
and sexual abuse, as well as a prohibition against the sale or provision of
alcohol to children, Ms. Leeflang concluded. Barometer of Human
