You enter a school like a mill!
On Monday, an individual entered the Bauches public school, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, posing as an extracurricular animator.
The man prowled in the establishment for more than an hour, before being chased away by an official.
His arrival led to the intervention of the police and the evacuation of the students.
A "
problematic
"
situation
according to the parents of the students, who call for increased security.

The fear of an explosive device
Several witnesses claim to have seen an empty backpack, raising fears of the presence of an explosive device or other dangerous element in the school. The management immediately notified the police, who ordered the evacuation of the establishment. "
A team of dog dogs and another from the central laboratory went there
," confirms a police source at
Le Figaro
. The operation, which lasts several hours, disrupts by domino effect the outings of nearby schools and "
causes panic among parents who went to school to pick up the children at 4.30 p.m.
", underlines a letter from the Association. des Parents d'Élèves (APE) addressed to the Paris City Hall, which we consulted.
On Monday, November 15, the school leaves in front of Gustave Zédé kindergarten, a few steps from the Bauches school.
DR
Around 5 p.m., the police search system was finally lifted, no arrests to report.
A police investigation was opened.
This Tuesday, "
several children have not returned to school because of fears of a potentially very dangerous situation
," said the same document.
"
Unacceptable breaches
"
The man seems to have deceived the vigilance of the guard by taking advantage of the very regular rotation of the animators in charge of extracurricular activities, especially at noon. The guardian does not have an up-to-date list of the agents responsible for this activity, underline the parents of the pupils. At the same time, the perpetrator has benefited from a faulty intrusion alert system since March. Finally, the entrance to the school does not have a CCTV camera. Faced with this accumulation of "
unacceptable failures
", the APE sent an email in which it demands to be received "
urgently
" by the City of Paris and that of the 16th arrondissement. “
Some parents do not wish to send their children back to school untilno concrete action will have been taken
“, They warn.
Contacted by us, the office of Francis Szpiner, mayor of the 16th arrondissement, provides support to parents of pupils on the necessary improvement of the controls of the teams in charge of extracurricular activities. And if schools are integrated into the video surveillance plan, “
they remain insufficiently developed in general.
The team of the deputy mayor of Paris in charge of early childhood, Patrick Bloche, also confirms that we take this event "
very seriously."
And to add:
“We will draw all the conclusions from this incident.
Since 2015, several establishments are already equipped with videophones. On the other hand, the addition of new CCTV cameras is currently ruled out by this close friend of Anne Hidalgo: "
The guardian is the first filter and the best tool
”, we are assured.
