Two 13-year-old students from the Odyssée-des-Jeunes secondary school in Laval were arrested by the Laval Police Department for making death threats on social media against two other students from the same school, Radio-Canada learned.

It all started on February 6, when the two young accused beat up a young 11-year-old student a few meters from the secondary school playground.

According to the testimony of a parent who spoke to Radio-Canada, two students aged 12 and 13, who were passing by, witnessed the attack. They intervened to defend the young teenager who was being beaten.

The two attackers would have finished by leaving the premises, promising the two students that they would regret not having interfered in their affairs.

Following an altercation at school, student suspensions were carried out and personalized follow-ups with the parents concerned were carried out, said Annie Goyette, assistant director of communications at the Laval School Service Center.
