“there is great progress, but much remains to be done”, believes the Enfant Bleu association

“We welcome this great progress,” reacts Isabelle Debré, president of the Enfant Bleu association, while Parliament definitively adopted this Tuesday a text aimed at facilitating the withdrawal of parental authority from violent parents.

She still regrets that the “violence which would have resulted in an ITT of more than eight days” on the other parent and to which “the child attended” were not retained in the text as a condition for withdrawing parental authority.

“When a child witnesses terrible domestic violence, it is something psychologically terrible”lamented Isabelle Debré on franceinfo, “so here, we would also have wanted parental authority to be removed, or at least a possibility of suspending parental authority”she developed.

As for the possibility of welcoming children, whose parents no longer have parental authority, Isabelle Debré judges that “a lot has been done, there is great progress, but much remains to be done”. “Indeed there are not enough structures, there are not enough trained staff”she continued.
