Question 25399 — crimes, misdemeanors and contraventions

Summary

Mrs. Sira Sylla draws the attention of Mrs. Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the application of article 227-5 of the penal code on the offense of failure to present a minor child. This states that “the fact of unduly refusing to represent a minor child to the person who has the right to claim it is punishable by one year of imprisonment and a fine of 15,000 euros”. This article is in fact very little applied. Indeed, Mrs. MP has received several testimonies in her constituency from parents with custody rights who are unable to see their child following a refusal by the legal representative. Despite their complaints, the delays in justice are such that parents are gradually losing hope of seeing their child again. These cases of no-shows of children are serious, both for the parents and for the child. She would like to know what measures it implements to ensure that this article of law is fully applied.
