The tragic death of 11-year-old Lyhanna has raised serious concerns about the protection of minors in France. Former Children's Rights Ombudsman Claire Brisset has publicly criticized what she describes as a 'cascade of institutional failures.'

Brisset's comments underscore a troubling reality: children often remain vulnerable to violence within a system that is supposed to safeguard their rights and well-being.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for reforms to ensure that the voices of children are heard and their safety prioritized in France.
