Dutch 13 year old sailor put under state care

[Watser?]

Okay, this is why the call the Netherlands a Nanny State I guess:

A Dutch court has put a 13-year-old girl under state care for two months, stalling her bid to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world.

The decision by three Utrecht judges means Laura Dekker's parents, who support her plans, temporarily lose the right to make decisions about her.

A child psychologist will now assess her capacity to undertake the voyage.

Miss Dekker, who was not at the court, will continue to live with her father, Dick Dekker.

Mr Dekker - who did not make any immediate comment on the ruling - had earlier had a request for her to miss two years of school turned down.

Miss Dekker had planned to spend about two years aboard her 26ft (8m) boat, Guppy, to break the record set this week by a 17-year-old UK boy.

Mike Perham tackled 50ft waves, gale force winds and technical problems during the 28,000 mile (45,000km) circumnavigation, which took him nine months.

Earlier this week it appeared the British already placed her in foster care before :

British police earlier this year briefly held the 13-year-old Dutch girl, Laura Dekker who is planning a solo sailing trip around the world, her lawyer has confirmed.

In May, Ms Dekker sailed her 8.3m yacht Guppy from the Netherlands to Lowestoft on the English coast, the Volkskrant daily reported on Thursday.
When she prepared to set off for the return voyage across the North Sea, local authorities judged it too dangerous for a 13-year-old to be at sea alone. They telephoned the girl's father Dick Dekker and asked him to come over and accompany his daughter on the trip home.

Solo crossing
When Mr Dekker refused to comply with the request, Lowestoft authorities placed Laura in a children's home. On her website, Laura briefly refers to this episode in veiled terms, saying "In England I met a couple who run a children's home. They were very kind and showed me many nice spots in England."

Mr Dekker then changed his mind and travelled to the UK. When Laura was with him on the Lowestoft quayside, he decided she was able to go and make the crossing on her own, as had been the plan all along, and sent her off. The British police then contacted their Dutch colleagues, who alerted the social services' youth care bureau.

Apparently her mother is not all that happy about the whole thing though:

Laura's divorced parents are experienced yachtspeople and approve of her ambition to become the world's youngest around-the-world solo sailer. Her father supports her wholeheartedly, while her mother appears to have resigned herself to it, in order to preserve the relationship with her daughter.

I can imagine she may be relieved the court has stopped the girl.
