Lawyer for professor filmed beating little girl 3 years old spoke in the columns of Le Figaro to “re-establish the truth” about the facts. For him, this gesture is not It is not that of an unbalanced person, but of a teacher who cracked “under the pressure”. < /p>

The images of a teacher hitting a 3-year-old girl in a classroom the day after the start of the school year shocked public opinion at the beginning of the week. In the columns of Figaro, the lawyer of the teacher defends this Friday, September 13, a mother and teacher who had an “irreproachable” career in national education. “She is in a state of shock, obviously,” confides Me Laurent Hazan, adding that his “client felt abandoned from the beginning of this case.” both by his hierarchy and by the Minister of National Education. While his client's actions are reprehensible, Mr. Laurent Hazan regrets that Nicole Belloubet's reaction “hidden the malaise of National Education.”

“This is not to minimize or excuse them, but this type of event happens every day,” he says, preferring to see his client not as a “black sheep, degenerate”, but rather “an experienced, respected civil servant, who had an impeccable career and who unfortunately cracked under the pressure”.

For him, the real problem would be the teacher's “unbearable working conditions”. He denounces indiscriminately “a fairly large workforce”, a “not well prepared” start to the school year, “new “students sent by the town hall” or even “a somewhat complicated environment”. That day, he reports, the little girl had just “thrown a chair”. The “straw that broke the camel's back” for his client who reportedly “immediately apologized” after his gesture. 

What about the previous report made in 2012 ?

"In this case which dates back to 2012, nothing happened", sweeps aside Me Laurent Hazan, who even speaks of "a slanderous denunciation". “There was no follow-up, no complaint, no judicial investigation or even an internal investigation. We are trying to make a precedent out of it, but it is not the case,” insists the man who regrets that “parents, today, and for a very long time, no longer hesitate to oppose teachers when their child has received a bad grade, when they want to avoid a subject being discussed in a program, etc.”.

For Me Laurent Hazan, his client certainly did not deserve “such media lynching”. Deploring a “sadly banal case”, he invites us to “step back and understand the situation rather than “tarnish the good image of our teachers”. As for his client, he assures her: “She is not going to shirk justice.”
