exchange of arms between MP Sandrine Rousseau and Minister Sarah El Haïry on social assistance for children

The strike of employees of 119, the call number for children in danger, has found an echo even in the ranks of The national assembly. “Child protection is going badly, very badly”, began by saying the environmentalist deputy Sandrine Rousseau, during the session of “Questions for the government”. (…) “The number of children in care has increased by 30% in one year. Children are in distress, emergencies are saturated, 119 is saturated, foster homes are saturated, foster families are saturated. (…) ) We can no longer turn a blind eye to what is happening in Child Welfare.”

“Do not cast shame on all professionals”, replied Sarah El Haïry, Minister Delegate for Children, Youth and Families. She has insured “watch dramas without naivety”. “We will be alongside all those who support child protection,” she continued.

Sandrine Rousseau was then indignant. “Shame on you !said the elected environmentalist from Paris. ASE employees are not considered, children suffer, and it is you who bring shame to the entire child protection sector.”
