An 8-year-old boy threatened to stab his mistress and police officers on Friday March 22 at the Saint-Charles private elementary school in Saint-Étienne (Loire) The child, under treatment following previous violent behavior, was excluded from the establishment and his parents were summoned, a source close to the case tells us. The school principal filed a complaint early Friday evening.

“He is only 8 years old but disputes the comments attributed to him. His age prevents any prosecution and we will analyze the facts in the light of the psychological or psychiatric expertise that is carried out,” indicates the public prosecutor.
