He recalled that parents not only have rights, but also duties, and he considered it necessary to talk about them. According to him, there is a law in France according to which parents who do not burden themselves with raising their children and allow them to roam the streets at night face 2 years in prison, as well as a fine of 30,000 euros.
The Minister also urged prosecutors to remind parents of this when they, along with a child who broke the law, appear before them.
He also stated that the state is ready to help parents, but cannot replace them.
A day earlier, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin told reporters that the average age of those detained on the night of June 30 is 17. But very young adolescents, barely 13 years old, also participate in the pogroms.
