Xavier Yvon: A little over a year ago, the name Orpéa became synonymous with scandal in retirement homes. I will quickly summarize the case for you: in a major survey, the leading European nursing home company is accused of promoting profitability, to the detriment of residents. Rationed meals, neglected hygiene, lack of medical care but also insufficient staff, injunction to fill the rooms… The dysfunctions are numerous.
These revelations are shocking and in a few months, complaints from families multiply. The government decides to look into the file while the company is collapsing.
If I am talking to you again today about the Orpéa scandal, which therefore concerned the elderly, it is because it inspired another investigation, this time on early childhood… The terrible shortcomings brought to light in certain nursing homes do they also exist in nurseries?
To answer this question, BFMTV and L’Express have joined forces to conduct a long journalistic investigation. The result of this unpublished work can be found on lexpress.fr, as well as in the documentary “Nurseries, our children in danger” available on the BFMTV website. In this exceptional episode of La Loupe, we go into the details of this investigation. I prefer to warn you, it will be a question of rationed diapers, overbooking of children, and staff in distress.
