That risk exists, but that's not limited to this specific affair.

  Its highly relevant to this affair though. When you are charged or accused for a crime (say, welfare fraud), social services pretty much always automatically step in if there are children in the household. Then the "remove child" decision tree really gets going - with social services assuming guilt due to it being their safest option.

Excepting incidents, the current state is that there is no direct link between this affair and an increase in children being placed outside of their family¹. That doesn't mean that this affair didn't contribute to some of those cases, but it certainly didn't mean 1100 children were 'kidnapped'. 1: https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/maatwerk/2022/48/actualisatie-uithuisplaatsingen-toeslagenaffaire-2015-t-m-juni-2022 https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/maatwerk/2022/48/actualisatie-uithu...
