Question 5472 — children

Summary

Ms. Pascale Martin draws the attention of the Minister of Health and Prevention to the application of the ministerial instruction of April 12, 2022 relating to the standard protocol for the care of children present during a feminicide or homicide within the couple. A protocol implemented in Seine-Saint-Denis in 2016, known as the “feminicide protocol”, allows immediate and appropriate care for children of whom one of the parents has been a victim. of femicide or homicide. In France, in 2022, 147 children lost their mother to domestic feminicide; 34 of these children were present during the murder and 4 discovered their mother's body. The instruction of April 12, 2022 asks all the directorates of the regional health agencies to organize the local variation of a standard protocol for the care of minors present during a femicide or marital homicide, in mobilizing regional psychotrauma centers and volunteer hospital stakeholders and in conjunction with other institutional stakeholders concerned. This instruction also requires ARS to provide information on the number of protocols signed or planned by the end of 2022. This instruction, however, appears insufficient to ensure the deployment of protocols for the care of these minors throughout the territory. French and within a reasonable time. Indeed, it seems that to date, only a few hospitals (in Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux and Villefranche-sur-Saône) have implemented a protocol inspired by that existing in Seine-Saint-Denis. Two others, in Nice and Nantes, are in the works. On the other hand, the restriction of these protocols to only minors who were present at the scene of the events raises questions. In fact, the minors who were absent during of murder also need specific medical, psychological and social care. The MP therefore asks the Minister to provide her with a detailed inventory of the deployment to date of “feminicide protocols” across the entire French territory. She also asks him what he intends to do to speed up this deployment and to ensure that minors who were not present at the scene of the events also benefit from appropriate support.
