Axel’s fight to recover his daughter placed in an institution: “I crawled at night to give Clara what she had asked me to bring her”


Youth protection “So I had a very, very strong urge to get her out of there.”

Clara was a baby when she lost her mother to food poisoning after eating fries and mayonnaise in a restaurant in Arlon. The mayonnaise was spoiled. And Clara’s mother died within twenty-four hours, struck down by septic shock. Toxicological analyses, carried out in Liège, at Sart-Tilman, had revealed it, at the time

In 2008, Clara was not ten months old. At the funeral, her father, Axel, promised to give the best to his daughter. And that’s what he kept looking for.

Two or three years ago, however, youth protection decided to place Clara in an institution. It was the culmination of a conflict between Axel and his stepmother over the custody and upbringing of the little one.

Unfair and incomprehensible in the eyes of Axel, the decision provoked, in him, rage and revolt. This is what Axel wanted to tell us.
