Or better yet, unsuitable fathers should learn some self control...to put it politely!

Who, and how would "unsuitable" be determined? The last thing that the Netherlands needs is one more lunatic law. How about enforcing the "normal" ones like going after gangs of punks who think it is allowable sport to intimidate, rob and ridicule Dutch society?
