You're welcoming home Hervé Favreau (12) and Léonie Chevalier (5). They are half sibling who share the same mother. They are originally from Thimory in France. Hervé's father Guy Favreau left his mother, Salomé, three days after Hervé was born. They were both eightteen years old and the pregnancy had been an accident. Salomé had no support, since she was not on speaking terms with her family anymore. She got a cleaning job during the day and worked in a restaurant in the evenings. Hervé was mostly left with various neighbours and co-workers of Salomé.
When Hervé was about four years old, she often let him alone when she worked. She lost her job in the restaurant and money got very tight with just her cleaning job. One night her boss offered to pay her more money, if she'd sleep with him. With a stack of bills to pay at home and no idea how else to get more money, she took him up on his offer. Before long this became more regular and her boss even introduced her to some friends of his. Before she really knew what happened she had another 'job'.
In the mean time Hervé was left on his own a lot. When his mother did come home, she often came home drunk and wasn't really interested in taking care him. She made him do chores at home and shouted at him if he forgot to do something when she'd been out. She eventually lost her cleaning job because of her drinking.
By the time Hervé was six years old he was more taking care of his mother than the other way around. Salomé got pregnant again and she had no idea who the father might be. She ended up giving birth to Léonie too soon, because she had taken very bad care of herself during the pregnancy and she hadn't quit drinking either.
Léonie was a tiny weak baby, who had to fight for her life for her first few weeks. She got stronger and was allowed to go home eventually.
Half a year later, neighbours called the police, because Léonie had been crying for three straight days and Salomé didn't seem to be taking care of her children. In the end Hervé and Léonie were placed in a foster home, while Salomé had to quit drinking, get a decent job and follow parenting courses before she could have her kids back.
