A year and a half after the suicide of Nicolas, victim of school harassment, in September 2023, in Poissy, the ex-reader of Versailles, Charline Avenel, will not receive “No disciplinary sanction”according to a letter from Matignon that the France-Presse agency (AFP) was able to consult. This decision comes at the end of a survey by the General Inspectorate of Education, Sport and Research (IGESR), specifies this letter dated October 2, 2024 revealed by The Parisian And signed by the secretary general of the government, Claire Landais.
The Minister of National Education at the time, Gabriel Attal, had nevertheless wished in November 2023 “That the commitment of a disciplinary procedure instead of [l’ancienne] rector can be examined “. “It is not possible that there is no sanction at the administrative level, it shows that the administration is not able to regulate itself and protect children”reacted to AFP Béatrice Le Blay, the mother of the teenager.
On September 5, 2023, she discovered the body of her 15 -year -old son, hanged, at their home. The teenager had complained from the first months of the school year of harassment in his class in high school and his parents had alerted the teaching team. But faced with the lack of response from the establishment, they had sent a letter to the principal. The rectorate reacted by mail in May 2023, judging their attitude “Unacceptable” and evoking the criminal risks of an inaccurate denunciation.
“The problem is that in date we have zero sanction”
The mission of inspection on the suicide of Nicolas investigated the conditions under which had been sent this letter qualified as ” shame ” by Gabriel Attal. She had concluded that “This letter, in these terms, should never have been addressed to this family, in this situation”according to the ministry at that time, which had not made public the report of this mission.
Charline Avenel, rector of the Versailles Academy from October 2018 to July 2023, an employee today by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, had “Learned with amazement that the Minister of Education intended to initiate disciplinary proceedings against him, even though the inspection report would not retain any fault or breach concerning it”had reacted his lawyer at the time, Sébastien Schapira, in a press release transmitted to AFP. Contacted, Mme Avenel did not wish to comment on this mail.
“The problem is not to know if it is the rector or not the rector, the problem is that in date we have zero sanction”reacted Jean-Baptiste Soufron, who defends Béatrice Le Blay. His client had filed a complaint with constitution of civil party against X in September for voluntary homicide and moral harassment, in particular, according to the lawyer. This procedure, which almost systematically leads to the seizure of an investigating judge, aims to what“An independent investigation [soit menée] And [fasse] The truth about what happened ”specifies the council.
