The school version
We met this Thursday morning Maïté Nilauvre, the acting director of the specialized school to ask her for her version of the facts that took place within the premises of the establishment for which she is responsible. “During the midday recess, between 1:15 p.m. and 1:45 p.m., there was an altercation between two children. The supervisors, my colleagues who were three in number, intervened and separated the two children“. When our journalist asks the director to specify the reason for which she called the police, Ms. Nilauvre indicates “It was the last resort, the last solution I might find given the escalation and escalation of the behavior of the student. Before that, he tried to flee, to leave the school in climbing the various gates. He also climbed a tree in an attempt to flee, he wandered in the corridors, he tried to destroy the equipment, to hit the personnel who followed him to avoid that they put themselves in danger, which he did in spite of everything. He endangered the other staff members as well as the children, several of us intervened, the educator, the establishment psychologist, the educational coordinator and myself, even a school worker came to help us to control the behavior of this child who was unmanageable, so we decided to call the police following having repeatedly tried to contact the mother of the child, without success. which, the only solution was for us to go to the Police”.
According to our colleagues from Sudinfo, a complaint was filed by the mother. Proceedings once morest the latter are not excluded by the police zone. “A report was drawn up for the Charleroi King’s prosecutor. The minor’s mother decided to film the scene and do what is called bashing while the police simply did their job and did their best to preserve the safety of both the management at the origin of the call and the child. With this video, there is a strong risk of attacking the police, but the mother will also have to assume her responsibilities. We will explain in particular that there were calls and she did not intervene immediately […]. If our colleagues are attacked, we will defend them”, confirmed the chief of staff. Contacted by the editorial staff of RTBF, the Charleroi prosecutor’s office does not want to speak for the moment.
