These laws carried out the general principles of the law of "7 Frimaire An V.", which completely decentralized the system of national poor relief established by the Revolution. The "enfants assistés" included, besides (1) orphans and (2) foundlings proper, (3) children abandoned by their parents, (4) ill-treated, neglected or morally abandoned children whose parents have been deprived of their parental rights by the decision of a court of justice, and (5) children, under sixteen years of age, of parents condemned for certain crimes, whose parental rights have been delegated by a tribunal to the state. Children classified under 1-5 were termed "pupilles de l'assistance", wards of public charity, and were distinguished by the law of 1904 from children under the protection of the state, classified as: (1) "enfants secourus", i.e., children whose parents or relatives are unable, through poverty, to support them; (2) "enfants en dépôt", i.e., children of persons undergoing a judicial sentence and children temporarily taken in while their parents are in hospital, and (3) "enfants en garde", i.e., children who have either committed or been the victim of some felony or crime and are placed under state care by judicial authority.
