Emmy made her mother, Laure Marivain, promise him“go to the end”. Emmy died on March 12, 2022, after a seven-year battle with cancer. He was 11 years old. “Go to the end” will take place in a hearing on Wednesday 9 October, at 2pm, before the Rennes Court of Appeal. “You need to let the world know, Mom.”asked Emmy, whose photos, smiling, with her brother and sister, adorn the living room of the new family home that she didn’t have time to discover, in the Nantes region. Let it be known that Emmy didn’t get sick “by chance”as the doctors told him. AND “raise a taboo” : exposure of floral sector professionals to pesticides. “If I had been warned, my daughter would still be here” : Laure Marivain was a florist from 2004 to 2008 and then a floral representative from 2008 to 2011 in the Pays de la Loire.
According to information from World and Radio France’s investigative unit, Emmy is the first child whose death is recognized by the Compensation Fund for Pesticide Victims (FIVP). FIVP admits it “the causal link between the pathology [d’Emmy] and its exposure to pesticides during the prenatal period ». The first time for a deceased victim. Also a first time for a flower professional.
The compensation proposed by FIVP, however, takes into account exclusively the damage suffered by the “rights holders”or a lump sum of 25,000 euros for each of the child’s parents. It is precisely this compensation that Laure Marivain and her husband are contesting before the Rennes Court of Appeal. “It’s as if Emmy and her family haven’t suffered all these years”comments François Lafforgue, lawyer of the Marivain couple.
Between her diagnosis of acute B lymphoblastic leukemia in January 2015 and her death, a complete remission and three relapses, Emmy spent four hundred and sixty-eight days in the pediatric oncology department of Nantes University Hospital, undergoing medical tests and surgical procedures. Lower back pain, sciatica, headaches, vomiting, exhausting chemotherapy sessions, hair loss, weight loss, social isolation, fear of dying… The little girl’s ordeal is transcribed in the medical reports. That of Emmy’s family is not recorded anywhere. When contacted, the manager of FIVP, the Mutualité sociale Agricole, claims to have n “mandate to express an opinion on the remuneration policy of the fund established by law”.
