In France, a serious case of school bullying has caused a shock after a 13-year-old committed suicide. The family’s lawyer announced on Thursday a complaint against the school principal, the school board, the police, as well as Facebook and Instagram – hate messages against the girl had been made on social networks.
“We were not helped, we were dropped,” says the mother of the student from a suburb of Lille in northern France, broadcaster France Info reports. The family accused the authorities of not taking the matter seriously.
“Thoughts Are With Lindsay”
“My thoughts are with Lindsay and her family as the vicious attacks on social media continue,” Education Minister Pap Ndiaye tweeted. “In addition to the criminal proceedings already initiated, I have ordered the General Inspectorate to conduct an administrative investigation.”
Bullying has no place in school. France Info has reported that four teenagers are under investigation for bullying at school that led to their suicide and one adult for death threats.
Bullying among young people is also a major problem in France. Again and again there have been cases with a tragic outcome. The president’s wife, Brigitte Macron, a former teacher, is also involved in the fight against bullying.
