Question 14533 — children

Summary

Mr. Jean-Christophe Lagarde alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Health on the protection of minors in danger in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis. Indeed, in this department, up to 18 months pass between the decision pronounced by the children's judge and the effective application of educational assistance measures. Under these conditions, minors and the most vulnerable families must therefore wait more than a year and a half before be able to be helped. Today, there are 900 measures, or 900 families, waiting. However, such measures are being implemented without delay on the other side of the ring road, in Paris. These delays, attributable to the lack of personnel in the voluntary sector authorized to enforce said measures, are absolutely unacceptable. Especially since Seine-Saint-Denis is one of the most disadvantaged departments in France; this department exception therefore requires exceptional means. To repeat the words of the 15 Bobigny children's judges in the appeal for help they launched: “poorly protected children will lead to more vulnerable adults, human tragedies, homeless people and those unable to work. There will be more social costs, psychiatric care, adults to be protected, and, it no longer needs to be proven, more committing criminal acts”. It is therefore the society of tomorrow that will pay for today's apathy. Also, he alerts him to this situation and asks him to urgently take all necessary measures to strengthen child protection systems in Seine-Saint-Denis and to support the Departmental Council of Seine-Saint-Denis with concrete and serious decisions so that it can financially cope with this challenge.
