3-year-old girl severely traumatized after violent attack by teacher

A kindergarten teacher was filmed hitting a 3-year-old girl on the first day of school at a school in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. The victim has since shown signs of severe trauma.

The start of the school year turned into a nightmare for this little girl. The three-year-old child was starting her first day at the FrĂšres-Voisins nursery school, located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, when she was assaulted by a teacher on September 4, 2024. The scene was filmed by a parent of a student, the mother of another girl, whose presence does not seem to have been noticed by the school teacher. The images show a little girl crying and an adult hitting her in the back. The child appears to fall under the force of the blow. The student, who continues to cry, is then put in the corner and sprayed with a liquid product by the teacher who declares: “There, that did some good.” ?"

It was only the next day that the mother of the child who had been beaten was made aware of the incident, when a parent showed her the video of her child being mistreated by the teacher. She then understood that the complaints expressed by her daughter the night before, after the first day of school, about a blow she had received from the teacher are not exaggerated. The child's mother filed a complaint against the teacher at the Issy-les-Moulineaux police station and gave a copy of the video to the police.

The case must now be dealt with and two investigations, one criminal and the other administrative, have been opened. It has already prompted a reaction from the Minister of Education, Nicole Belloubet, who denounced a “shocking and unacceptable” scene on school premises. The Minister has decided to  immediate suspension" of the teacher and requested the opening "without delay" of a disciplinary procedure this Tuesday, September 10, one week after the events.

The child victim of a “severe psychological trauma”

While the start of the school year is not easy for all children, the scene that this little girl experienced on her first day of school created a “severe psychological trauma” according to the general practitioner who examined her on September 6 and whose conclusions are relayed by BFMTV.The child is “disturbed” and “anxious” and has not returned to class since the violence she suffered, according to her mother, also quoted by the 24-hour news channel. New medical examinations are planned with other health professionals. But “it will take time and specialists to get [the little girl] back on her feet.” according to the family's lawyer, Vanessa Edberg, guest on BFMTV this September 10.

"A child does not have to suffer an act of violence and especially not in a school, it is a radical contradiction. We take things very seriously," reacted the rector of the Paris Academy, Bernard Beignier. The latter assured his “full support” to the family and the victim. Regarding the teacher's profile, he explained that her file did not reveal anything and that she had been practicing “for many years” in a nursery school which is now according to the mayor of the 15th arrondissement of Paris, Philippe Goujon. The teacher, who has been working at the Frères-Voisins school for about ten years, was received on September 6 by the school principal and an inspector. She acknowledged the facts and apologized to the family.
