More than 100 reports of sexual abuse have been reported to a commission looking into sexual abuse of children in care in the Netherlands.

The commission was set up two months ago by caretaker Youth Minister Andre Rouvoet and Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin, after it emerged last spring that children who had been placed in Roman Catholic institutions by the Dutch authorities had also been subject to abuse.
