Two parents, who were in immediate appearance Wednesday, were sentenced by the court in Le Mans to twelve months probationary suspension for two years, for violence, deprivation of food and punishments on the five girls of the house, aged 3 to 10 years, reports Maine Libre.
At the slightest mistake, the little girls, all very obedient and good students at school, were punished with sticks, kicks and starvation. The punishments went as far as cutting their hair if they did not know by heart the definition in the dictionary of a word they had just learned at school, even lists the daily Sarthe.
The mother partially admitted the facts
After another report from the school, the girls were placed in January. The parents were also sentenced in November for violence on the three largest. The 28-year-old mother partially admitted the facts but sought to play them down. “When they did stupid things, they were deprived of eating at night it’s true, but it was not for four days”, she declared in particular before the judges by affirming that her attitude was linked to the education she had received.
