Question 16391 — children

Summary

Ms. Marine Hamelet draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the safety and protection of minors entrusted to child welfare (ASE), following the death of a 17-year-old teenager in Narbonne (Aude) in June 2026. Young Louis, aged 17, was receiving care under child welfare. On the night of June 19 to 20, 2026, he was a victim in Narbonne of an extremely violent assault in a meeting, presented by the prosecution as a premeditated ambush, to which he succumbed on June 23, 2026. Five people aged 17 to 19, including three minors, were indicted for attempted assassination and placed in pre-trial detention. The victim, like several of those indicted, came under the authority of child welfare services. It further appears that the adolescent had, on several occasions during the weeks preceding his death, already reported to the police acts of violence in meetings of which he considered himself a victim, one of which had resulted in hospitalization. This drama questions the administrative chain of child protection: the follow-up given to reports of violence from a protected minor, the monitoring of minors received, the prevention and treatment of runaways, as well as the supervision and security conditions of reception structures. It takes place in a context of high tension in the system, when nearly 390,000 minors and young adults benefited from a child welfare measure at the end of 2023. Consequently, she asks him, firstly, what administrative action was taken to report violence made by this adolescent and if the The Government intends to carry out an administrative inspection mission, in order to establish, independently of the criminal procedure, the conditions for its support. Secondly, it asks about the measures that the State intends to take, within the framework of its normative and control powers, to strengthen the security and supervision of minors received and prevent violence. Thirdly, she asks him to clarify the state of effective application of the provisions of Law No. 2022-140 of February 7, 2022 relating to the protection of children aimed at preventing violence within child welfare establishments, several of its implementing decrees having only been taken more than two years after its promulgation.
