In France, 400,000 children and young adults depend on the child protection system, known as the Aide Sociale à l'Enfance, or ASE. As FRANCE 24's Natacha Vesnitch and Claire Paccalin report, this institution is supposed to protect them, but its failures sometimes put them in danger. Lack of placements, separation of siblings, unsuitable structures, absence of psychological support, mistreatment – the list of shortcomings within the system is long. A parliamentary commission of inquiry presented its conclusions on April 8, after months of work investigating a system undermined by dysfunction and neglect. Maëva is 23 years old. She was 16 when she was placed in the ASE, France's child protection system. Mistreated by her mother, she asked to be placed in care. Originally from the Lille region, she was sent several hundred kilometres away to the department of La Creuse. She didn't know it then, but she was among 60 children who were placed in a network of unlicensed foster families. The two men running the network were sentenced in December 2024 during a trial in Châteauroux to several years in prison for multiple acts of violence and undeclared work. Seven years after her ordeal, Maëva has strong memories of arriving in the foster family. "Due to lack of space, I was told to stay in the caravan," she recounts. "It was filthy inside, and I had to relieve myself behind the caravan because at night, they locked the house." 'ASE was the biggest problem of my life'During this placement, Maëva was not enrolled in school. She heard little from her ASE caseworker, and weeks passed until the day the teenager decided to run away. "Bruno came to have a go at me in the caravan because I was talking too much and he wanted to take away my phone. He hit me hard and I fell. Then I locked myself in the caravan. I waited a few hours, packed some belongings and ran away."This time, Maëva had no intention of turning to the ASE system. She decided to manage on her own. It was the start of a downward spiral. "I destroyed myself," Maëva recounts. "Luckily, I woke up after four years, because many girls who do that end up badly."Today, Maëva believes that her time with the ASE left indelible marks. "ASE was the biggest problem of my life," the young woman concludes.Court-ordered placements not carried outSince 1983, child protection services have been managed by departments that are supposed to immediately implement protection measures ordered by judges. But in 2023, according to the Magistrates' Union, at least 3,300 court-ordered placements were not executed by the ASE.In Nantes, the Family Court Judge Marie Le Verre estimates that about 30 of her orders remain unenforced at any given time. This situation can have serious consequences, according to her. "The risk", she explains, "is that these children no longer respect the society that did not protect them."'Child protection in France is abusive. It can even be deadly'Lack of placements, separation of siblings, unsuitable structures, absence of psychological support, mistreatment, lack of oversight of placement locations – the list of failures within French child protection is long.Olivier Treneul is a social worker in the Nord department. He campaigns daily within the SUD trade union for the department to invest more resources in child protection. "Child protection is abusive, and that's why our colleagues are suffering," explains the union spokesman. "Child protection can even be deadly: we have examples all over France of young people who died in ASE care. There are stories in hotels, like young Lily who committed suicide in January 2024. The child protection system is not just failing, it's at breaking point, not because we don't know how to do our jobs – we do know. It's because the system was not prioritised."One in four homeless people born in France were in care as a childThis view is shared by many child protection professionals. Hamza Bensatem is a former foster child. He himself was a victim of abuse in the homes where he was placed. Today, he is director of Adepape 13, an association that helps young people leaving the child protection system. He regularly organises meetings with young adults who are worried about their future. And for good reason: since 2022, the law provides support for young adults formerly placed in ASE care, but in reality, many end up on the street. One in four homeless people born in France were in care as a child.

Imprisonment was rarely used as punishment in Britain before 1800. The criminal justice system was based on terror and deterrence, sentencing convicts to the gallows at home and transportation overseas, with prisons serving primarily as holding spaces for the accused until the case against them was resolved. A major shift began in the late eighteenth century when imprisonment became an end in itself: a means to reform as well as to discipline criminal offenders. To Detain or to Punish: Magistrates and the Making of the London Prison System, 1750–1840 (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2025) by Dr. Kiran Mehta revisits this revolutionary moment as it played out in the metropolis of London. Dr. Mehta charts how Londoners, through their interactions with police, magistrates, and judges, became prisoners, and then follows them into the prison, revealing how these institutions were managed and experienced. Local authorities' increased use of imprisonment, for punishment as well as for detention, sparked the wholesale reconstruction and redesign of London's prison estate. It also spurred the consolidation of the modern notion that prisoners who had not yet been convicted of a crime, or who had not been sentenced to imprisonment, should be held separately from and treated differently to those incarcerated for punishment. Most notably, the requirement to labour became a distinguishing feature of punitive confinement. Challenging traditional ideas about who and what prisons were for and how they operated, To Detain or to Punish offers a radical reappraisal of London's prison system between 1750 and 1840.  This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Sermon on Luke 13:1-9, 31-35. This is the second sermon in our Lenten sermon series called Man of Sorrows.Isaiah describes the Messiah as a "man of sorrows" and "familiar with suffering." During the season of Lent, we'll learn about the sorrows of Jesus, sorrows which come from unexpected places. Each week, the source of Jesus' sorrow will move closer to his inner circle, forcing his followers (including us) to confess the ways they have missed the kingdom he wants to bring. These sorrows reveal to us the ways we can honor God as we prepare for Easter Sunday.In this sermon, we explore how instead of seeing us as scapegoats or idols, Jesus reminds us of our need for repentance and the rich mercy of God.

Welcome to archived live stream exploring session for Beware the Cat by William Baldwin. It was live streamed on Robert Crighton's private YouTube channel, but not officially added to the podcast, during the opening of the 2020 plague and, beyond a few minor tweaks, remains as streamed. It's a First Look, so it's rough as such things are, and obviously we've come a long way since then. This final part covers the close of the text. Following our live reading in 2023, an adaptation of the book is rehearsing now, planning to tour later this year. If you'd like to be kept up to speed with developments, join the Beware the Cat mailing list. If you're interested in the show coming to your area, get in touch here. The audio recording of our live adaptation from the Revels season is available now - but it isn't on the pod for the moment. It can be listened to by signing up for free to our Patreon - it won't be released on the podcast as per usual so as not to give away too easily a future production. Part One can be heard here!

Tune in here to this ​Tuesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by giving a quick overview of Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing this morning. He then moves onto the Mecklenburg magistrate situation from last Friday. The Cornelius Police Department posted their Facebook page about the situation saying, "(A Mecklenburg County Magistrate), ordered the release of this defendant to the custody of his parents in lieu of a bond." The defendant had been charged with 10 counts of Felony Second-Degree Sexual Exploitation of a Minor. The Cornelius Police Department's post claimed that they found the defendant's release, "troubling and concerning," given the seriousness of his charges. Later, Brett shares an interview with Daniel Redford, President of the Charlotte Chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police, to share his thoughts on the situation. Listen here for all of this and more on Breaking With Brett Jensen.

Transport Secretary Louise Haigh has stunned her colleagues, the DFT and everyone in the railway by announcing her shock resignation just hours after a story broke regarding a Magistrates' discharge almost 10 years ago. Her decision to go quickly rather than try and ride out the storm has thrown the rail industry into yet another period of uncertainty, right at the moment that it looked like a clear plan for the way forward was emerging. Nigel and Richard discuss the challenges facing the industry in the immediate aftermath of the news and what may lie ahead for pace of the promised reforms. UPDATE: Almost as soon as we had recorded the show, it was announced that Heidi Alexander, previously Minister for Courts and Social Justice, has been appointed as Secretary of State for Transport. She has also previously been Deputy Mayor of London for Transport from 2018 and departed her role in 2022 to prepare for a return to Parliament which she did at the 2024 General Election.

Political upheaval, the role of the press and free speech, attitudes towards divorce: the poet John Milton thought and wrote about all of these issues which also concern us today. Milton (9th Dec 1608-8th Nov 1674) might be best known to us today as the man behind the epic poem Paradise Lost, dictated after he had become blind, and published in 1674, but he was also the author of The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates and Eikonoklastes (1649) which examined the right of the people to hold authority to account and provided a defence of regicide. He also attacked pre-printing censorship in Areopagitica; A speech of Mr. John Milton for the Liberty of Unlicenc'd Printing, to the Parlament of England (1644). Matthew Sweet and his guests look at the resonances of Milton's writing now.Andrew Doyle writes plays, performs stand-up, hosts a show on GB news and has written articles for Spiked. He is the co-author with Tom Walker of Jonathan Pie: Off the Record and has published a book called The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World. He has a doctorate in early Renaissance poetry from the University of Oxford. Professor Alice Hunt is based at the University of Southampton and is working on a book titled England's Republic: The Lost Decade, 1649–1660 supported by a Leverhulme Research Fellowship Dr Kate Maltby is a lead columnist for The i newspaper and a theatre critic. She is also a Senior Research Associate at Jesus College, Cambridge working on Renaissance literature. Professor Islam Issa is based at Birmingham City University. His books include Alexandria, the City that Changed the World, Milton in the Arab-Muslim World and Milton in Translation, ed. with Angelica Duran and Jonathan OlsonProducer: Luke Mulhall

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, Will Wright interviews Phoebe Petrovic, an investigative reporter with ProPublica's Local Reporting Network. The discussion centers around  her latest story on Pastor Matthew Trewhella. Trewhella, who was once an extremist anti-abortion activist, has gained influence within certain GOP circles through his book "The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates." This doctrine, rooted in 16th-century Protestant resistance theory, advocates for local officials to defy laws they deem unjust based on their interpretation of God's law.Phoebe explains Trewhella's transformation from a militant activist to a thought leader embraced by some mainstream Republicans. She highlights how his ideas have permeated various political and social arenas, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, where his doctrine provided a framework for resisting government mandates. The episode delves into Trewhella's influence on Second Amendment sanctuaries, local governance, and his broader impact on the far-right movement.Read Phoebe's Report: https://www.propublica.org/article/matthew-trewhella-pastor-activist-republican-politicsGuest Bio:Phoebe is a radio journalist whose work has aired on “Reveal,” NPR's “Morning Edition” and “Here & Now.” In the past year, she served as a general assignment reporter at Wisconsin Public Radio through the Lee Ester News Fellowship and editorial radio intern at “Reveal,” where she helped cover family separation and other immigration stories. She earned her B.A. from Yale University, where she founded and led audio projects including Herald Audio, the first-ever audio section of an undergraduate publication, and “Small-Great Objects,” the first-ever podcast series installed at Yale University Art Gallery.Phoebe covers criminal justice, in particular, the issues revolving around prosecutorial misconduct and unethical conduct in Wisconsin. Her first major project is a podcast and multimedia exploration of the myriad obstacles facing defendants when the prosecution is tainted by misconduct — and how that system could be improved.Support the Show.To learn more about the show, contact our hosts, or recommend future guests, click on the links below: Website: https://www.faithfulpoliticspodcast.com/ Faithful Host: Josh@faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Political Host: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.com Twitter: @FaithfulPolitik Instagram: faithful_politics Facebook: FaithfulPoliticsPodcast LinkedIn: faithfulpolitics Subscribe to our Substack: https://faithfulpolitics.substack.com/

In today's complex society, how do we understand the role and limits of authority in different areas of life? This episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast dives into the concept of sphere sovereignty, as developed by theologian Abraham Kuyper, examining its biblical roots and relevance to modern Christianity. We also look at the Magdeburd Confession and the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate as another important historical development of reformed/Christian political theology.Main Points of Discussion:00:00 | Introduction05:16 | Examining the Connection Between Libertarianism and Protestantism09:50 | Human authority and societal responsibilities are derived from God, as explained in Genesis 1:28 and Romans 13. These passages suggest that there are distinct roles and responsibilities ordained by God, leading to the idea of sphere sovereignty. This concept, developed by Christian theologians, describes the normative behavior for Christians as they fulfill their mandate from creation. Romans 13 further emphasizes that all authority comes from God, including the authority of societal institutions like the government.13:02 | The Gospel message of the Kingdom of God strongly influenced Kuyper's belief in the all-encompassing sovereignty of God, leading to his conviction that all aspects of life should acknowledge God's authority in their own unique way. 15:10 | There are different types of authority outlined in the Bible beyond just governing authority. The concept of sphere sovereignty can also be seen as a pushback against notions that "we are the government," emphasizing the distinct spheres of authority in life and society, and the government's limitations in dictating aspects like parenting.18:26 | Passages like Matthew 15, Hebrews 13 & others establish the sphere and authority of the church25:01 | Kuyper was deeply motivated to advocate for active Christian engagement in society, contrasting with a passive retreat into the background. His belief in a comprehensive kingdom view emphasized the active shaping of the world by Christians, rather than taking a back seat. While some may attempt to use Kuyper's ideas to promote Christian nationalism, it's important to note that Kuyper's vision did not seek to exclude other worldviews from public life. Instead, he aimed for a society that allowed for diverse perspectives while actively involving the church in critiquing and holding governments accountable.27:25 | Kuyper's views on Calvinism and state control emphasize the consecration of all life to the glory of God and the government's obligation to serve God's moral laws. He advocates for accountability of the government to God's decrees, opposed to the imposition of Christian norms by the magistrate, reflecting his theological depth and practical political engagement.31:41 | The historical origin of the doctrine of the lesser magistrate, its connection with sphere sovereignty in the reformed Protestant tradition, and the significance of the Magdeburg Confession in advocating resistance to tyranny during a period of religious conflict and political upheaval following the Protestant Reformation.35:59 | Obligation to prioritize divine laws over human authority.40:13 | Biblical principles advocate for decentralized governance to counter human sinfulness and the potential for corruption and tyranny that comes with concentrating too much power in the hands of a single individual or institution. This is reflected in the warnings given in 1st Samuel regarding the Israelites' request for a king, which ultimately led to oppression and problems. The biblical worldview emphasizes the understanding that power should not be sought for the sake of personal idolatry or the desire for a savior, but should be rooted in principles that guard against the pitfalls of centralized authority.Additional Resources:https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/are-christians-supposed-to-pay-taxes/https://reformedlibertarians.com/episode/gregory-baus-on-sphere-sovereignty-biblical-anarchy-podcast/The Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.

January 28, 2024Paul and Silas continued to preach the Gospel in Philippi.  While preaching in the streets, Paul exorcised a fortune-telling demon from a slave girl.  The slave girl's owners dragged Paul and Silas before the City Magistrates, who had them beaten with rods and thrown in jail.  That night, God caused an earthquake, which opened the jail doors, and freed all the prisoners.  The jailer was about to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had escaped, but Paul stopped him.  Paul and Silas shared the Gospel message, and the jailer and his entire family listened, believed in Jesus, were saved, and were baptized.  Paul rebuked the Magistrates for beating him and Silas (who were Roman citizens) without a trial, a serious violation of Roman law.  Paul and Silas gathered the new Christians in Philippi, prayed and encouraged them, and then departed to preach the Gospel elsewhere.Acts 16:6-40
