An 8-year-old girl victim of violence: her mother and partner tried in Lons-le-Saunier
A case of child abuse was examined on Friday, 5 June by the magistrates' court in Lons-le-Saunier. A woman and her partner were being prosecuted for acts of violence without permanent injury inflicted on an 8-year-old girl by a person in authority over the victim.
The hearing shed light on the contrasting profile of the child. According to the parties, the little girl was in constant search of affection, desperately seeking love. Other elements revealed a difficult child, mocking adults and obeying only her own desires.
The mother and her partner appeared to answer for violence which they allegedly inflicted on this child placed under their responsibility. The precise facts were not detailed in the available evidence.
The case highlights once again the complexity of situations of family abuse, where the boundaries between discipline, parental authority and violence can become blurred.
