Guest of the morning of Bernard Poirette on Europe 1, Sunday, the president of the Voice of the Child Martine Brousse affirms that there is a "problem of means" in the fight against the mistreatment, whereas the government must announce Monday a plan against this scourge.

INTERVIEW

He is expected to turn. Adrien Taquet, Secretary of State for Child Protection, will unveil Monday a plan to combat violence against children. Martine Brousse is particularly impatient: as president of La Voix De l'Enfant, a federation of 80 associations that defend children, she expects additional "efforts" in the fight against violence against minors.

"Tomorrow (Monday, Ed), it should be the announcement of a pact for the child, with announcements on the prevention part, how to spot abuse," says the president of the federation at the microphone Europe 1 Bernard Poirette , Sunday. "It is high time that all children have an evaluation benchmark, 44 departments have been trained and use it, but that's not enough."

119, an under-equipped number?

Martine Brousse is in contradiction with the Secretary of State, who estimates that the current situation, with 180 deaths in 2018 under the beatings and ill-treatment, is not necessarily related to a question of money. "There is a problem of money and a problem of means," she insists. "119 (the call number to report violence against children, Ed) is far from responding to all calls, hence the idea of ​​having at least two listeners and a half, which would 10% more call processing The 119, which receives 400,000 calls each year, costs 3 cents a year for French. "

The plan, announced ahead of the 30th anniversary of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, on November 30, should also bring to the fore a number of representations related to abuse. "Abuse affects all environments, it is more or less well hidden," says Martine Brousse. "Often, environments in precariousness are followed by social services."
