Question 38962 — children

Summary

Ms. Aina Kuric draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister of Solidarity and Health, responsible for children and families, to the abusive placements of minors in France by Child Welfare (ASE), which has been increasing for several years. Indeed, children are sometimes taken from their families, in just a few hours and without any possible defense. Some investigations are imprecise and have consequences painful for families. The general inspectorate of social affairs noted in the early 2000s that one placement in two was not justified. The Council of Europe, in a report on child protection dated March 13, 2015, confirmed the alarming nature of the situation and recalled that a child cannot be separated from his family against his will, except if it is in his interest. These investments undermine family freedom normally guaranteed by the international convention on the rights of the child. Before placing the child, less punitive possibilities should be considered in cases where the danger is not real. These placements are a reality that organizations, associations and the media denounce and solutions must be put in place now. She would like to know how the Government intends to respond to the dysfunctions in the placement procedure which often have dramatic and irreversible repercussions on the child.
