Punishing parents for their children's actions. Aurore Bergé, Minister of Solidarity and Family, announced to La Tribune Dimanche a series of measures to make parents responsible. “Parents cannot be forgotten in our public policies. We need them, we have to face them,” he explained. According to her, the lack of parental responsibility is partly responsible for the presence of many young people during the riots last July after Nahel's death. “We all remember the images of these mothers who went out into the streets in the evening to pick up their children and put them back on the right path,” recalled Aurore Bergé. Recall that 30% of the rioters were minors and 60% of them grew up in single-parent families.

Community service for “failed parents”

Based on this observation, the Minister of Solidarity and Family announced a 30% increase in the resources of all Family Assistance Centers with the aim of "accompanying and supporting parents". What will happen to those who do not allow themselves to be helped, or do not seek assistance for their children who are not exactly model children? There will be the establishment of "a social service for non-compliant parents, the payment of a financial contribution for parents of children guilty of causing damage to a victims' association and a fine for parents who do not show up at hearings concerning the own children."

By 2025, family leave will become “simpler and more flexible”. This means that parents will be able to use it simultaneously or separately with "a significantly higher compensation than the current parental leave".

But do families really have power?

But do families have real disciplinary power over their children? Because if parents are burdened with responsibility, they should, on the other hand, have such disciplinary power as to be able to guide the education of their children themselves. Then there is the problem of families, who, right from the start, had no values to pass on, or had them, let's say, distorted them.
