Tuesday August 30, the police discovered a new horror scene in a house in Noyelles-sous-Lens (Pas-de-Calais). Ten brothers and sisters went through an ordeal, two of the youngest were tied to their high chair. The parents were placed under judicial supervision.

In a house in Noyelles-sous-Lens (Pas-de-Calais), the police discovered two children, aged two and five, tied to their high chair and living in deplorable hygienic conditions. The alert was given by the 24-year-old eldest of the siblings, who have ten children. It is difficult to understand how such a situation could go unnoticed for so long. “These children were schooled for the most part”explains Martine Brousse, president of the association “La Voix de l’Enfant”.

“There is an obligation for any professional, even for a doctor, to report a child in danger, an ill-treated child”continues Martine Brousse. The parents, suspected of violence and serious educational deficiencies, were placed under judicial control. They will be tried next January. Their seven children, who are still minors, have been temporarily placed.
