“The vast majority of parents consider ordinary educational violence, especially moral violence”

The Fondation pour l’Enfance publishes an exclusive barometer of habitual educational violence (VEO) carried out by IFOP with a representative sample of 1314 parents. Conclusion. parents are at a loss and are almost as likely to consider beating their child with a belt violent (54%) as to deprive them of screen time if they do not comply (48%). Clement Lisembard, who is responsible for the social activities of the foundation, demands an action plan from the government.

LE FIGARO: How can we define routine educational violence, knowing that if there is a 2019 law that prohibits it?

Clemens LISBARD. – This law is crucial because it is a legal recognition. It is particularly noted during civil marriages. But, despite our repeated requests, it has never been supplemented by public authorities’ awareness measures, which makes it very uncertain. Common educational abuse is an unrecognized part of child abuse because it is considered acceptable, even desirable, to provide a “good education”.

This term includes any form of abuse, physical, psychological or verbal, that is used to change or stop a child’s offending behaviour; finished his plate. What defines a VEO is an educational purpose.
