French authorities are investigating more than 100 allegations of mistreatment, physical violence and sexual abuse involving children as young as three in nurseries, primary schools and daycare centres across Paris, linked to school monitors working in these institutions.
Paris police are examining complaints across a wide network of sites. Paris’s top prosecutor Laure Beccuau confirmed the scale of the investigation, saying, “We have investigations under way in 84 preschools, about 20 primary schools and about 10 daycare centres,” as quoted by The Guardian.
