Parentalité et dignité sociale en situation de précarité et de contrôle judiciaire
Parenthood and social dignity when in precarious and judicial control

Summary/Abstract: Some parents suffer from a combination of difficulties. They are both precarious, or even excluded from the work sphere, and vulnerable within the family sphere and child welfare measures show it. Yet, work and family spheres are supposed to frame any normally integrated individual. Without these two foundations, the risk of no longer belonging increases. To counter the risk of breakdown of social cohesion numerous interventions now put the emphasis on supporting parents, enhacing parental skills, looking for a more balanced and respectful partnership regarding parents’role. They must, as the expression goes, ‘be ackowledged’ to retain their social dignity. But, what is beyond the phrase ‘being ackowledged’? Which forms does it take within parenthood register in the eyes of the professionals? And, what do parents say about this strange experience which summons them to be helped, whether they like it or not, bring up and educate their children?
