The former French teacher ofEvaëlle11 years old, Pascale B., was released this Thursday, April 10 by the Pontoise Criminal Court (Val-d’Oise). She was prosecuted for harassment against the pre-adolescent, who had ended up committing suicide in June 2019. « Revolted », Evaëlle’s parents will appeal, said their lawyer, Me Delphine Meillet.

But if the prosecution does not call on its side, there will be no second criminal lawsuit. The teacher may however be re -insured on the appeal to civilians and possibly be condemned to pay damages. « I am in total misunderstanding », Evaëlle’s mother said in tears after the decision of the Pontoise Criminal Court (Val-d’Oise).

In his requisitions on March 11, after two days of hearing, the prosecutor had asked for 18 months suspended prison sentence and a final ban on teaching against this 62 -year -old woman. The former teacher was in a position of « All power » and had a « Quite rough contact with the students », had described the prosecution.

In his relationship with Evaëlle, the ex-professional « The grazing in the collective, makes her cry ». Her « Harassment is the trigger and catalyst for the harassment of minors », said the prosecutor. The arrival in the 6th grade at the Isabelle-Autissier d’Herblay college in Val-d’Oise had been trying for the teenager, scapegoat of comrades who insult her and violate her. As of September 2018, she also faced tensions with her French teacher around the implementation of a medical protocol relating to back problems.

A very contrasting portrait of the teacher in the thirty years of experience without hook was brushed by her former colleagues. « Authoritarian and brittle » On the one hand, « Benefitting and helpful » on the other. For one of the victims, she had « His darlings and targets ».

In front of the court, she expressed few regrets on her professional practice. Faced with a Kyrielle of testimonies relating to humiliations on students – « You are stupid, you will finish homeless », « We can’t be stupid so much, you don’t have a brain » -, the former teacher challenged several insults and admitted certain words.

« Yes, it happened to shout, to say that in times », recognized Pascale B., believing that it was « Demanding », « Listening » and determined to « Help your students ». « I didn’t humiliate Evaëlle », She said on several occasions, very marked by having been initially implicated for the death of the teenager.

« I had to say to him: » Stop crying « , a silly sentence to say. I didn’t want it to cry, it was not the stake ”, explained the sixty -something man about the hours of life of disputed class. During a session devoted to school harassment, the teacher had asked students to express their reproaches to Evaëlle who was then to be explained. Faced with her tears, the teacher had annoyed himself and had stated him to answer the questions, according to the students’ stories. « It was not in order to put it in difficulty but try to solve this relational problem in the class », The defendant was justified.

But for Evaëlle, as she tells her mother, « It was the worst day in my whole life. » The pre-adolescent is changing college, she will first better but ended up being caught up in difficulties, especially with a comrade. « She found only one solution to escape », estimated his father. On June 21, 2019, Evaëlle hangs her bed at 11 years old.
