children’s aunt defended parents accused of child abuse
The father’s sister-in-law tried to justify the various abuses that were to be subjected to the various members of the siblings.
A community plunged into misunderstanding. A couple from Noyelles-Sous-Lens, in Pas-de-Calais, will be tried in January, suspected of violence and educational deficienciesafter the discovery by the police on Tuesday of two of their ten children tied to high chairs, in a situation of “deplorable hygiene”we learned Sunday from the prosecution.
However, interviewed anonymously by BFMTV, the father’s sister-in-law, who is therefore the aunt of the children, tries to put the situation into perspective.
“These are young children who, if they step on the ground, can bump into each other too,” she begins.
“The mother was bottle-feeding her other youngest. She couldn’t take care of all her children at the same time, that’s normal”, she adds again, as if to try to clear her relatives of the mistreatment of which they are accused.
Children tied up, deplorable hygiene
The family situation had been denounced by one of the eldest siblings, and the prosecution was notified on August 30 by a report from Childhood Social Assistance (ASE), the prosecutor told AFP. the Republic of Béthune, Thierry Dran, confirming information from the Voice of the North.
When the police intervened, they “found that two children aged two and five” said they were “attached to high chairs, so as not to move”, and in a “deplorable state of hygiene”, said he keeps on. However, “you cannot say” that they were covered in excrement, as some media reported, he said.
The parents, a 44-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman, are suspected of “subtraction by ascendant from legal obligations” and “violence of a minor aged 15 by ascendant”, without ITT (total incapacity for work).
