French President Emmanuel Macron called on parents to keep child rioters off the streets on Friday, adding that around a third of the 875 people arrested overnight for rioting were "young, or very young".
"It's the responsibility of parents to keep them at home," he told reporters after chairing a crisis security meeting. "It's not the state's job to act in their place," he added, while urging social media firms to remove the "most sensitive" content related to the rioting.
