WHEN THE SUFFERING IS TOO GREAT AND NO LONGER ALLOWS ONE TO ATTENTION TO ONE'S CHILD

Sometimes, the nature and intensity of the disturbances can place the child in a situation of insecurity or even danger. In extreme cases, the parent may experience hallucinations or delusions focused on their child(ren), or conversely, they may temporarily lose awareness of their child's presence. The parent's intention is obviously not to expose their child to danger or harm them, and that is why, in these moments, it is crucial that the child(ren) be protected. This is the responsibility of the parent, but also of anyone who witnesses the danger.

The best interests of the child take precedence, and placing the child under protection, especially if it has been done with the prior agreement of the parent, will help to protect the bond beyond the time of the crisis.
