Sponsor of the Yellow Pieces operation for the 4th consecutive year, Didier Deschamps is particularly sensitive to the cause of childhood. On the sidelines of the launch of this event, this Wednesday, the coach of the Blues strongly condemned the hateful comments that recently targeted Camille. This sick little girl, aged 8, had testified to her admiration for Kylian Mbappé, in a video posted on Sunday, January 9 on Twitter.
“It’s not regarding being fatalistic. We have to fight once morest that. Even if social networks offer the possibility of having a social link, they are also spillways of hatred, insists Deschamps. Under cover of anonymity, or not, we come to inadmissible drifts. Adults are sufficiently capable, even though, of being able to defend themselves, but children… Children should not be touched because this can leave sequelae, trauma, or even lead, as has unfortunately already happened, to acts irreversible. Beyond being vigilant and protecting them, we must listen to children in order, at the slightest signal, to come to their aid ”.
Very reassured, the double world champion adds: “We can only be scandalized. I wonder, even now, how these people, even if it concerns only a minority, can show so much hatred and aggressiveness with a little girl of that age. It goes beyond any form of understanding. All these sites must set up moderations and protect children ”.
The controversy started from a video published on Sunday. Camille suffering from VACTERL syndrome, a rare disease, posts a video on the account of his association A smile for Camille that makes the dreams of children with congenital and genetic diseases come true.
The message of the young girl, of infinite gentleness, notably asks Kylian Mbappé, at the end of his contract in June 2022, to “stay at PSG”. “Continue to make us dream for a long time, we love you,” said the young girl, PSG jersey on her back.
This video of the young girl has been mocked by certain Internet users who have not hesitated to insult her. This resulted in strong indignation on Twitter, to such an extent that the association A smile for Camille was forced to react. “We might never have imagined so much hatred, Camille fights every day to distribute smiles and the sadness that we feel this evening is at the height of this violence. “
Kylian Mbappé did not fail to support Camille on Monday. “The violence of comments for a kid… We’re really hitting rock bottom. It would be a question of recovering a little “, had tackled the star of PSG.
