We must “repeat to the parents that they hold their kids”, launched Saturday the Keeper of the Seals Éric Dupond-Moretti, the day after the sending of a circular which details the “firm and systematic” criminal response that he wishes against participants in recent urban violence. A third of the defendants are minors and “idle young people from sensitive neighborhoods”, according to an intelligence note that Le Parisien obtained this Friday.
“Parents who are not interested in their kids and who leave them hanging out at night knowing where they are going (…) they risk two years in prison and a fine of 30,000 euros”, recalled the Minister of Justice traveling to the court of Créteil (Val-de-Marne).
“It is not up to the state to bring up the children. The State can help the parents but it cannot replace them”, added Éric Dupond-Moretti, who came “to see the application of his circular”, according to the Ministry of Justice.

The circular sent on Friday recalls that it is possible to use the police to summon parents who do not appear when their child is summoned to court, or to condemn them directly to a fine or a training period of parental responsibility.
Trace young people on social networks
“We are going to blow up the accounts” of young users of social networks “who use them to say when, where and how we are going to break up”, also assured the former tenor of the bar. “The judicial authority may ask operators to deliver IP addresses,” he explained.
Since the death of young Nahel, killed on Tuesday by a policeman in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine), urban violence has erupted everywhere in Île-de-France and in the rest of the country.
The perpetrators of these riots, sometimes very young, often relay their violence on social networks, which find themselves in the sights of the government because of their amplifying effect.
