Samara, the 13-year-old teenager, violently beaten in front of her college in Montpellier, will not return to college anytime soon. His state of health “has improved but will not allow him to return to classes on Monday, April 22,” wrote the rectorate in a press release on the eve of the end of the school holidays.
“In agreement with Samara’s mother, remote support is put in place, so that Samara can benefit from educational continuity from her home, while awaiting her return to an establishment,” he added. The young girl, seriously injured, was in a coma and came out the day after the attack.
Disciplinary Board
The students in question will, for their part, be refused entry to their establishment for the moment and they will have to appear “in the short term” before disciplinary councils “in order to decide on the action to be taken for each”. The listening cell which was set up the day after the attack, which occurred on April 2, in order to collect the words of students but also staff will remain active “at least the first week of the resumption of classes”. The same goes for the mobile academic security teams (EMAS) which will remain mobilized for at least the first week of the resumption in this college.
“Only administrative and judicial investigations will make it possible to clarify the facts and define responsibilities,” explained rector Sophie Béjean. According to the Montpellier public prosecutor’s office, this attack took place “in the context of a group of teenagers who had the habit of insulting each other” on social networks and publishing photos there. Three minors aged 14 and 15 who admitted to having hit the teenager were indicted for “attempted intentional homicide” and placed under judicial supervision.
