“In a state of shock,” the teacher who assaulted a 3-year-old girl in a school in the 15th arrondissement of Paris “deeply regrets” her action, her lawyer said.
The teacher who assaulted a 3-year-old girl in a school in the 15th arrondissement of Paris “he deeply regrets what happened”, his lawyer said BFMTV this Tuesday, September 10. According to him, she would be in a “state of shock”.
On Monday, a video of this teacher violently slapping a tearful little girl in the back created a wave of outrage.
Declaring herself “extremely shocked” to journalists, the resigned Minister of National Education, Nicole Belloubet, announced on Monday evening that she had requested “without delay the initiation of a disciplinary procedure, with the immediate suspension of the teacher”.
“Completely unsustainable”
“It is completely unbearable, this behavior is unspeakable, coming from a confirmed teacher who has been in this school for ten years already,” said Philippe Goujon, the LR mayor of the 15th arrondissement of Paris, interviewed by BFMTV.
This teacher “knows the school, the parents, the students well and is a teacher in her mid-fifties,” “who normally doesn't get carried away,” he continued.
A preliminary investigation has been opened following a complaint filed by the girl's parents.
