a history-geography teacher threatened with death by a 13-year-old student for caricatures

A teacher was threatened with death this time in , in Audincourt. This history and geography teacher was targeted by one of his students, aged 13, after showing caricatures in class the day after the commemorations of the Charlie Hebdo attacks.

Less than two weeks after the commemorations of the Charlie Hebdo attack, a history and geography teacher was threatened with death after showing caricatures in class in Audincourt in Doubs.

A 13 and a half year old girl told him at the end of a lesson that a “high school student was going to come and kill him”. A threat which comes the day after the national tribute paid to the victims of Charlie Hebdo.

This history and geography teacher presents caricatures to his 4th grade students. The class takes place calmly, but a 13-year-old student emphasizes that “that doesn’t happen” last week, new history class. At the end of the hour, this same student threatens her teacher this time and assures him that a high school student will come and kill him.

The professor warns his superiors and files a complaint. Heard in police custody the next day, the teenager mentioned “a bad joke”. The investigation detected no sign of radicalization in this uneventful Franche-Comté schoolgirl.

Summoned to court in February

But the prosecution is still pursuing her for “threat of death against a person entrusted with a public service mission”.

“From the age of 13, we are criminally responsible for our actions and such comments do not have to be made,” says the Montbéliard prosecutor, Paul-Edouard Laloi.

“The objective is to be particularly firm on this type of comments and to raise awareness that comments can kill. We really need young people, and particularly middle school students, who are sometimes in a certain disconnection with reality, be aware of this,” he continues.

This teenager will be summoned to court in February. Temporarily excluded from her college, she will go before the disciplinary council in the coming days.
