Question 11999 — children

Summary

Ms. Agnès Carel draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for children, to the “Rencontres-ados” website. This site intended for adolescents and young adults is once again the subject of concern, particularly from parents who are sounding the alarm. “Teen dating” is not a new platform. The site has existed since 2006 and would have a discussion forum, a system of search to find members near you and a private messaging system. But when browsing the platform, several points raise questions, as highlighted by certain journalists who have investigated this site. First, the rules of the dating site establish a list of 38 prohibited behaviors, such as prohibiting minors from registering without parental authorization, or even prohibiting to send sexual photos and messages. But in fact, no identity verification would be requested during registration. Thus, the conversations would be private and therefore not monitored. Some testimonies collected regularly report exchanges of a sexual nature undertaken by adults with very young minors of 13 or 14 years old via the platform. According to others, this site would have become a real den of pedophiles. Also, she asks what measures she intends to take to protect minors exposed to sexual predators on sites which should be exclusively reserved for them and to better control this type of site.
