The very young boy expressed his desire to “kill” his mistress with comrades, according to “the report received in the early afternoon on Tuesday of national education,” said the public prosecutor of Blois, Stéphane Javet. The knives were “hidden in his school box, not brandished”, according to the prosecutor, who recalled that there was “no act or attempt”.
He “probably confided in a classmate”, who himself would have expressed him to his AESH (accompanying students with disabilities), said the prosecutor. In view of a very young age, “no criminal prosecution can be engaged”, but “the parents will be heard”. “I will ask that a social assessment be carried out by the child protection services of the Loir-et-Cher department,” said Stéphane Javet. “Various hearings will be carried out on Wednesday,” he concluded, adding ignoring “at present if a complaint has been filed”.
What exactly happened in school?
The mayor of the town, Laurent Brillard (UDI), said he was “shocked” in the face of “serious facts”, saying that these three knives had been recovered by the director. Laurent Brillard went with the sub-prefect of the department to the school concerned to “support” the teaching staff.
The debates around the security of establishments were relaunched after the murder of a supervisor on June 10 in a college in Nogent (Haute-Marne) by a 14-year-old student.
A “fashion”
Between March 26 and May 23, 6,000 checks led to the seizure of 186 knives, and 587 disciplinary councils took place in total for knives, according to the Ministry of National Education.
Friday, in the neighboring department of Indre-et-Loire, an 11-year-old boy with an opinel had been arrested after entering a college in Savigné-sur-Lathan and having threatened students.
On June 16, a seven-year-old child was found in possession of a steak knife in a school in Mulhouse (Haut-Rhin), where he boasted of wanting to attack a comrade.
