Knocks on the head with a fork, screaming, pushing, inappropriate words… There has been an increasing number of accounts of acts of mistreatment perpetrated by educational teams in the grounds of Boulard nursery school, near Place Denfert-Rochereau (14th century). since the beggining of the school year.
It is the violent gesture of a sports speaker who ignited the powder.
On Monday, a 5-year-old girl tells her mother that her classmate was violently strangled by a sports educator during taekwondo training the previous Friday.
The little boy described as "alive and extrovert" ends up telling his mother in turn about the scene that has traumatized him for three days.
Faced with his mother's dumbfounded gaze, he told her "he's an adult, he has the right".
Unbearable words for this social worker at the origin of a prevention project on child abuse at Necker hospital (15th century).
A handrail deposited at the police station
Other parents also report violence against their children: hair pulled out, children pushed down the stairs or violently grabbed by the arm, cries, pressure from animators to force the little ones to eat quickly.
A second mother has filed a handrail at the police station for the blows of forks struck on the skull of her child by another facilitator responsible for monitoring the canteen.
“Unfortunately, these dysfunctions are not isolated.
The City must ensure the training and support of its referents.
But, of course, all these facts have been recounted by the children and those involved are presumed innocent.
We must let the investigation take its course, ”explains a mother.
Parents have decided to temporarily withdraw their children from after-school workshops.

A reframing of the teams is underway, ”explains Amine Bouabbas, first deputy mayor of the 14th century, in charge of education, after having met the parents of the students and the city's education manager on site.
