Christian Estrosi launches his parental responsibility contract in Nice.

“I am proud to be the Mayor and President of the General Council of the Alpes-Maritimes who will execute this provision.” It is with a certain pride and definite conviction that the Nice official announces this news to the journalists present, not without having a thought for the BAC officer who died the day before during a traffic stop in Menton. The parental responsibility contract therefore comes into effect in Nice from yesterday, and the first families concerned will be those of the perpetrators of the Bois de Boulogne school misdemeanors. “As soon as the judiciary provides me with the identities of these young people, we will immediately call the families to inform them of this fact.”

Of the 7 perpetrators, 2 are adults (24 and 18 years old) and the others are minors. If the first two face likely incarceration, the other five are subject to this contract which will place a sword of Damocles over their heads, as well as their families, for the next 6 months. In the case of a repeat offense, the family allowances paid to the families would be automatically suspended. “I want this procedure to be systematic, and I in no way wish to target a neighborhood.” By this decision, Christian Estrosi intends to curb this type of behavior whether in a school setting but also on a sports field or in a municipal hall. Responding to questions about possible video surveillance of schools: “With the General Council, I have already installed video surveillance around the colleges and we are working with Benoît Kandel (Deputy for Security) to do the same for the Nice school groups. Moreover, the location of the Bois de Boulogne school in a dead-end is a real hotspot of danger at night.”

“Do you like this? In any case, it suits me.” As a conclusion, Christian Estrosi does not hide his satisfaction with the implementation of this measure without ruling out, like his counterpart in Cagnes-sur-Mer, resorting to a curfew for children under 5 years old who must be accompanied by an adult after 11 pm and until 6 am.
