A 10-year-old child, who lives in the Pyrénées-Orientales, was interviewed by the gendarmes. He is suspected of having disrupted, on October 16, the tribute to teachers Dominique Bernard, killed in Arras (Pas-de-Calais), and Samuel Paty, the Perpignan prosecutor’s office told AFP, confirming information from the information site blast.
“We have put in place an educational measure,” said Jean-David Cavaillé, the public prosecutor of Perpignan. “An educator will work with him. We are not in criminal proceedings, he is 10 years old, we cannot do criminal proceedings. It’s just an educational measure. »
“None went to court”
This child is the youngest of the minors, aged 10 to 16, who were heard in this department for similar reasons “in the week following the minute of silence” observed in middle and high schools on October 16. At least ten minors were interviewed in this department. They had been the subject of a report from National Education. “As soon as we have a report (…), we are obliged to check the conditions in which the child was raised,” indicated the prosecutor.
The “answers were different, depending on the age, the nature of the comments and then their background (…) Sometimes there are educational measures, sometimes there are citizenship courses for older children. None went to court,” assured the prosecutor.
