“Why the master hurt us ?” At the Assizes of Gard, the immense distress of the families of the Caveirac school

Behavior that changes at the start of the school year

This Friday, February 2, he came to tell how much his daughter Manon* changed from the moment she found herself in François Bossy's class, 65 years old, now retired, and who categorically denies the accusations against him.

All these parents tell the same story: children who are delighted at the start of the school year, then whose behavior changes around the All Saints' Day holidays. Anger, fear and refusal to go to school, night terrors with enuresis, and withdrawal.

At 11, she refuses to wear dresses

"Manon got up four times a night to re-line her bed" recalls Amélie, her mother . "She asked us if we were going to die, if they were going to kill us. Today, she is eleven years old, she is still very anxious, she still refuses to wear shorts and dresses. It ruined her childhood, it has a huge impact on our family and Our couple. It's unbearable, I want it to stop she bursts into tears.

He wanted to come to the trial to tell the story

"Antonio wanted to go to sleep as soon as he got home from school, at 3:30 p.m." says his mother. "Since the periods from September to December are always complicated. Antonio is often angry and there, he only wants to come to the trial to talk about his story."

After the arrest of the teacher, in September 2017, the then Nîmes prosecutor came to the school , explain the results of the investigation to the parents concerned. "For my daughter, he said touching and fellatio. Fromthen I have the image of my daughter licking this cock"describes Laura, Fabia’s mother. Silence.

A time bomb ?

"Today, she doesn't want to talk about it, but the psychologist says it could be a time bomb. But right now, she wants to have the outcome of the trial. We give him the main points."

"What alerted me was anger and then crises. He cried all day, he moaned and hardly spoke anymore, and he turned this anger against me, he hit me, he slapped himself" describes Mario's mother."We had to add holes to the waistband of his pants and make sure it was always tight. And then he started telling us that he had tree branches and rocks in his butt."

Pleased to know he's in prison

Today, Mario is 11 years old, and hardly talks about it anymore. &amp ;quot;When we found out that the teacher had been arrested, Mario told us: "I hope he goes to prison like that, he won't be able to mistreat the children anymore" continues his mother. "I understood why he was angry with me when I came to school. He told me that the master told him that if he spoke, he would kill his mother. In fact, at four years old, he wanted to protect me." She catches her breath. " He asked me to ask you a question: "Why is the master us did harm ?"

Verdict Monday.
