The death of Lyhanna, 11, found in Gers, triggered a judicial investigation and strong national emotion, while the authorities are accused of failures in the handling of previous complaints targeting the main suspect for sexual violence against minors. Andréa Bescond, director and director committed to defending children's rights, was the guest of France 24. According to her, "failures like those of Lyhanna happen all the time"; she denounces the incompetence of the authorities, notably Gérald Darmanin, and the lack of resources and measures to combat violence against children.
