Dutch sperm donor with 550 kids pushing incest, trad life on YouTube, parents say

NL Times  

Jonathan Meijer, a Dutch man who conceived at least 550 children through sperm donation, is using his YouTube channel to influence children, according to mother Natalie Dijkdrenth and Stichting Donorkind. Today, they will ask the court to take Meijer’s YouTube channel down and order him to stop addressing “his” donor children via social media. Then he tells the children directly and indirectly what they should think about it,” Ties van der Meer, director of Stichting Donorkind, a foundation that stands up for the rights of children conceived through sperm donation, told RTL Nieuws. “Trad” is short for traditional and the phenomenon promotes a traditional division of roles between men and women, where women take care of children, the household, and the vegetable garden, while men are the breadwinner.
