Parents whose children aged 13-14 participate in night riots in France face two years in prison and a fine of 30,000 euros, Justice Minister Eric Dupont-Moretti recalled at a press conference.
According to him, “It is important to be reminded that parents who show no interest in their children, who let them go out at night knowing where they will go when they are 13 or 14 years old, are subject to two years in prison and a fine of 30,000 Euro”.
The minister also urged prosecutors to remind parents of the law every time a child is brought before them accompanied by their parents. “We must once again tell parents that they must reassure their children, because raising children is not the responsibility of the state. The state can help parents, but it cannot replace them,” the head of the Ministry of Justice stressed.
On Tuesday morning, police officers shot and killed a 17-year-old teenager during a check on a road in Nanterre, who, according to security officials, refused to comply with their demands. Riots erupted in several French cities. Police special forces were deployed to maintain order, armored vehicles and helicopters were involved.
