Question 15942 — children

Summary

Mr. Aurélien Dutremble alerts the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the serious dysfunctions revealed by the Lyhanna affair and to the concerns they raise regarding the capacity of the judicial institution to ensure the effective protection of minors. Following this affair, the Minister announced that he had asked the public prosecutors and the public prosecutors to carry out, by July 14, 2026, a review exhaustive analysis of some 70,000 complaints involving children in order to identify possible malfunctions, processing delays and insufficient resources. The very scale of this national operation testifies to the concerns that today surround the capacity of justice to deal with all the necessary speed with procedures involving violence or crimes committed against minors. This situation gives rise to a strong emotion among the French and particularly among the inhabitants of Saône-et-Loire, who wish to know the reality of the situation in their department and to be assured that no report concerning a child remains without an appropriate response. The MP asks the Minister if the conclusions of this national review will be the subject of a detailed publication by department or, failing that, by court of appeal. He would like to know how many complaints involving minors are currently recorded in Saône-et-Loire, how many of these procedures are currently awaiting investigation, prosecution or legal decisions and how many cases have been identified as presenting abnormal processing delays. He questions him about the average delays observed in the department between the filing of a complaint and the carrying out of the first acts investigation, as well as the number of situations having led, in Saône-et-Loire, to the implementation of protection or shelter measures for minors exposed to suspected perpetrators of sexual violence or serious violence. Likewise, he asks what procedures are applied today when a report or worrying facts concerning a minor are brought to the attention of the judicial authority, in particular in matters of removal of the alleged perpetrators, judicial control, prohibition of contact with the minors concerned or any other measure intended to prevent the recurrence of the facts. Finally, he asks him if he plans to strengthen the immediate protection measures for minors when there are serious or consistent indications giving rise to fears of danger for their physical or psychological integrity, if the results concerning specifically Saône-et-Loire will be made public at the end of the work announced for July 14, 2026 and if the resources currently allocated to the courts, prosecutors' offices, investigation services and child protection systems are sufficient to guarantee the effective protection of minors.
