Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal to withdraw the mother's parental authority should be overturned under Art. 311 CC
Solution extraite
The conditions for the drastic measure of withdrawing parental authority were not met, because existing child-protection measures had improved the situation and no current deterioration justified a harsher intervention.
Motifs extraits
Withdrawal of parental authority is admissible only if lesser measures are clearly insufficient. Here, loss of custody, curatorship, and placement with the father had remedied the difficulties, relations had improved, and the mother was working and reachable. The father's criticism largely attacked factual findings and evidence assessment, which were not reviewable in reform proceedings.
