Question 18091 — children

Summary

Mr. Frédéric Barbier questions the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice about the bans on working with children for people convicted of violence or mistreatment of a minor. In fact, currently a person convicted of an act of violence or mistreatment of a minor is not systematically prohibited from carrying out a professional or voluntary activity in contact with children, at the end of their sentence. For example, in the fourth district of Doubs, during a trial for habitual violence leading to death without intention of causing it, an approved childminder who admitted to having shaken, on several occasions, a 4-month-old baby, resulting in his death, was sentenced to 7 years of imprisonment, followed by a ban on carrying out any paid or voluntary activity relating to children for 5 years. Also, at the end of these 5 years of ban, in terms of the law, nothing will prevent him from working with children again. However, statistics have shown that in the case of this child abuse called shaken baby syndrome, which affects 200 children each year in France, the recidivism rate is 55%. He therefore wishes to know whether it intends to take measures to strengthen the bans on practicing an activity with children any person convicted of violence or mistreatment of a minor.
