Woman Arrested at Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy After Alleged Assault on Her 6-Year-Old Son Aboard TGV

Investigators are assessing whether the reported attack reflects habitual abuse, with the child kept in temporary care.

Overview

  • Passengers used the 3117 reporting line to alert authorities, prompting SNCF railway security to meet the train at Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy.
  • Police from Lagny-sur-Marne arrested the 42-year-old on the platform and placed her in custody on suspicion of assault by an ascendant on a minor under 15.
  • Witnesses said the incident followed a spilled drink and alleged the child’s head was slammed against a seat tray with hair-pulling and strangulation.
  • The boy was taken into the care of child welfare services on a temporary basis and spent the night in a shelter, according to the prosecutor.
  • The Meaux prosecutor’s office is examining whether the violence was repeated, with reports that the suspect is known to justice, and potential penalties could reach five years in prison and a €75,000 fine depending on medical findings.
