Question juridique clé
Whether the mother committed qualified sequestration of her two daughters despite parental authority and custody
Solution extraite
Parental authority and custody do not justify imprisoning children without an educational purpose; the prolonged confinement was unlawful and qualified sequestration was established.
Motifs extraits
Custody allows determining residence, not imprisoning a child. Educational measures must serve the child's welfare and comply with law. Keeping the daughters locked in a room with the corpse, beating and tying them up, and starving them was contrary to parental duties and therefore without right.
