Anne Hidalgo admitted that all institutions failed in protecting children, recognizing collective responsibility in responding to cases of sexual abuse. The statement comes in a context of scandals that have shaken various institutions.
Since the beginning of the year, 52 animators have been suspended due to suspicions of sexual violence. These suspensions indicate an institutional response to serious allegations against professionals working with children.
The institutions involved acknowledged that the protection mechanisms did not function adequately. This situation led to a reassessment of security protocols in organizations that host minors.
The case raises questions about the surveillance and prevention systems existing in French institutions. Anne Hidalgo's admission of failure reflects the seriousness of the situation and the need for reforms in child protection procedures.
