For a few days, circulated on social networks a shocking story shared by the inhabitants of Marthod (Savoie).

The mayor of the city, Franck Roubeau, was informed by a parent the next day. He then called the two officers to order responsible for thisinappropriate professional act”. Administrative measures would have been taken against them. The elected official of the town subsequently received the girl’s parents and told them apologized on behalf of the municipality.
The opportunity to recall strict rules
“I made a first clarification with the staff to remind them of the rules to be respected“, said Franck Roubeau. This Monday, a meeting was organized with the extracurricular team to take stock of the rules in the event of disturbances at school.
If a student is exhibiting troublesome behavior, officers should report it by making a cross on a board. After a certain number of crosses, the mayor, warned, would possibly take measures, in consultation with the parents. No situation can justify such behavior from school staff. We also recall that immobilizing a child by force constitutes violence which, in addition to going against his education, is certainly traumatic.
