The mother, who "needs help and advice about her daughter", who has "told her about sexual things that happen when she is at her father's house", is met with a cold and elusive reception from her father. policeman.
According to the recording, the latter advises her "to stop with these stories", despite the very explicit details told by the little girl to her mother.
"A 4 and a half year old child says anything and everything"
“For 4-year-olds, it's quite common for there to be this kind of language, it's not necessarily that there's something behind it, eh… At school too, it tells a lot of things, it's not necessarily related to her father… It's not your adult brain to fantasize about the vocabulary of a 4 year old child… Huh, okay?
», We hear on the recording.
He continues, before hanging up: "I'm telling you, you'll rather see a psychologist, make a little point with your child, but hey, it's not because she talks about that that it's linked to sexual abuse."
(…) Me, I tell you madam, a child of 4 and a half years old says anything and everything, you shouldn't trust your word at all.
Because it's not because you are separated from this man that he inevitably hurts your daughter.
Here is dear madam, have a good day.

IGPN entered
This recording, cut on Twitter, but available in full version on YouTube, was given to Karl Zéro by the lawyer for the mother in distress, as the host told Liberation. It is authentic and has not been altered except for the mother's voice which has been altered to preserve her anonymity. Information confirmed by the daily, to which the lawyer explains that the appeal took place in early 2021 and that two worrying information was issued by the school and social services and that an investigation was opened in the wake , without knowing where this procedure is today.
Solicited by Le Figaro and Liberation, the Paris police prefecture indicated that the Paris police prefect requested an administrative referral to the IGPN, without commenting on any progress made in the investigation.

At this stage, it is impossible to know whether or not the departure of the agent is linked to this case.
A sad reality for many victims
While the Commission for the fight against incest makes its first conclusions on Wednesday, this call depicts a sad reality for many victims and children's rights associations.
“The people who welcome this word are not trained.
It is common for allegations of sexual violence to be blamed on parental conflict.
Moreover, this is not the first time that we have had negative feedback about the juvenile brigade.
I have personally heard much worse, ”regrets Isabelle Aubry, president of the association Face à incest, with Liberation.
