Question juridique clé
Whether removal of parental authority under Art. 311 CC was justified after custody removal and curatorship had already been ordered.
Solution extraite
Yes. The child-protection measures already in place did not preclude removal of parental authority because the father's prolonged absence after expulsion would prevent him from participating in and supervising the child's upbringing.
Motifs extraits
Custody removal and curatorship had remedied the earlier deficiencies, so parental authority could not be removed merely for those past shortcomings. However, the father's long-term absence constituted an independent ground under Art. 311 al. 1 ch. 1 CC, making him unable to exercise parental authority properly.
