This Tuesday, a report by the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (Igas) was submitted to the government and evokes "institutional abuse" in nurseries in France. At the microphone of Europe 1, Alexia, educator of young children, told the inappropriate behavior she witnessed in the nursery where she worked.

"I saw people putting sheets over the child's face so he could fall asleep," she recalls. "We washed the children in cold water because a boiler had blown up and in any case we couldn't replace it"
