In the space of a few days, the story of a young vitreous couple (Ille-et-Vilaine) who denounces the placement of her two children, including a newborn, after childbirth, goes around social networks. Everything starts from the testimony of a young mother, Noémie, broadcast on Saturday June 11. She explains that she gave birth, a week earlier, of a little girl, Lou, “in [her] house with [s] on companion and [s] a 2 year old daughter”. “It was fabulous, fast, painless, finally here, the dream we have been waiting for for nine months,” she adds. But, according to her, the dream quickly turns to the nightmare when the father of the child goes to the civil status office of his commune to declare the birth, after four days. “At the town hall, the lady panicked when we saw that we had no medical assistance with us,” said Noémie. The maternal and child protection services (PMI) are then alerted.

Faced with their insistence, “we went to maternity to have our daughter examined by a pediatrician, so that they do not do peace,” said the young woman, who did not respond to the solicitations of the world. But, the next day, representatives of the police, presented consecutively by the mother in her online testimony as “ten gendarmes” and “police officers”, go to the couple’s home and leave with the two children, in order to Place them as a nursery. An “abduction” denounced by the parents, who see it as a sanction following “of a completely legal choice of childbirth but not accepted however by the institutions: childbirth not assisted [without medical staff]”. The couple, who decided to publicize their history by creating an Instagram account and a Facebook page, also launched an online kitty to be able to pay their lawyers. Their story was abundantly relayed by home delivery activists. 2>

The father replied that he did not have it, his concubine having given birth at home, and “the agents then asked if the child and the mother had been seen by a doctor, the father replied that no”.
