The family of the student, who attends a school in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, has filed a complaint.
A three-year-old girl was hit by her teacher in a school located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris on Tuesday, September 3. The footage shows the student falling and then getting up. She calls her mother and runs to take refuge towards the exit door. It is her very first day at nursery school. The teacher then sprays cold water on her face. It was a parent who filmed the scene before leaving the classroom.
A France 2 team met the girl’s mother on Tuesday to discuss the terrible moment she discovered the video. “I trusted the school and then you find your little girl like this. It’s not normal.”she explains. “When I hear my daughter cry, it really hurts. I want to cry, but I can’t.”she confides.
For four days, the little girl has been lying in her house, terrified when anyone talks to her about school in the classroom. “She asks me if the teacher is still there. I’m not just speaking for my daughter, I’m speaking for the other students at the school.”she assures. The mother of the family filed a complaint.
