Parentis-en-Born

Parentis-en-Born is a town located in the Landes department of France. It is currently newsworthy due to allegations of sexual assault and violence against minors involving an after-school program worker (animateur périscolaire). The individual, who worked in Parentis-en-Born, has been taken into custody and is under investigation. He faces accusations of "agressions sexuelles sur mineurs de 15 ans" (sexual assault on minors under 15) and "violences sur mineur de 15 ans par personne ayant autorité" (violence against a minor under 15 by a person in authority), with initial reports also mentioning suspected rape. The victims are reportedly children aged 3 to 5 years old. The suspect was removed from his position in October 2025 after the initial report from a family. The investigation is ongoing, with at least three complaints filed against the suspect. The case highlights concerns about child safety and oversight within after-school programs.
