Question 16725 — public order

Summary

Mr. Thierry Perez draws the attention of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the means of strengthening parental responsibility in the face of the nighttime presence of unaccompanied minors on public roads. Committed to child protection, the fight against juvenile delinquency and public peace, he recalls that parents are primarily responsible for the supervision, education and protection of their children. children. However, numerous news items, as well as several recent episodes of urban violence, have highlighted the presence, sometimes late at night, of very young minors left to their own devices on public roads. These situations expose those concerned to significant risks of violence, exploitation, trafficking or committing criminal acts, while causing legitimate concern among residents. If current law already provides for various support or sanction systems in the event of serious parental failure, many communities and security forces are questioning their practical effectiveness and the speed of their implementation. Under these conditions, he asks how many minors under the age of sixteen have been arrested or taken into custody on the public highway between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. over the last five years; what mechanisms today make it possible to call into question the responsibility of holders of parental authority when these situations are repeated; whether the Government has an evaluation of the effectiveness of the measures currently provided for by law in terms of prevention of juvenile delinquency and parental responsibility; whether public prosecutors and juvenile courts have the necessary means to deal with quickly identify the most worrying situations of educational deficiency; finally, if the Government plans to strengthen the legal tools making it possible to hold parents accountable when the repeated presence of unaccompanied minors on the public highway during the night reveals a serious failure to fulfill their obligations of supervision and protection.
