Their children no longer go to school since Covid: the couple who “do not contract” are at very high risk

The couple of sovereign citizens who made him speak by refusing a police check in the spring are at great risk: and for good reason, they have not sent their children to school for five years. After being held in police custody in Drôme on July 8, 2024, he was forced to enroll them in school.

The video of their traffic stop made the rounds on social networks. The couple who "does not contract", due to their belonging to the conspiracy movement of " sovereign citizens" received the obligation to send their children to school, reports Le Dauphiné Libéré.

Arrested Monday

The spouses aged around thirty, previously wanted in Mayenne, settled in Drôme, with the spouse's parents. According to our colleagues, their children had not been in school since 2019. From the start of the Covid pandemic, these two sovereign citizens had decided to no longer bring them to school.

Only, "education is compulsory for every child from the age of three until the age of of sixteen years, places the Education Code in article L131-1.

The father was placed in police custodyon Monday July 8. He did not attend his summons and was therefore arrested at his home. He was required to send his children to school, otherwise he faces a sentence of six months' imprisonment and a fine of 7,500 euros.

Who are sovereign citizens?

Sovereign citizens are people who no longer wish to be part of the State, in the name of everything they accuse it of: lack of transparency, non-compliance with citizens, endangering the lives of others and seeking profit. For the members of this movement, France is a private company that engages in unscrupulous practices. Its employees would be none other than the French who, via their identity documents, would be fooled by "legal name fraud", note Conspiracy Watch.

It is estimated that 3 000 the number of people claiming to be "sovereign citizens" in France. If the criminal risk is relative for the members of this movement, the risk of isolation and deprivation of certain benefits is very real, recalls Montpellier lawyer Jean-Baptiste Cesbron: "It’is a global thought that leads to isolation, the consequences of which can be significant."
