Probes ongoing into alleged abuse at 84 Paris preschools: prosecutor

[Beringia]

PARIS - Paris investigators are looking into allegations non-teaching staff recruited by the city mistreated or abused children at 84 kindergartens and around 20 primary schools, a prosecutor said Sunday.

Parents in the city have in recent months accused supervisors in charge of children outside the classroom -- such as during recess or before pick-up -- of mistreating, or physically or sexually abusing pupils in their care.

The French capital’s new mayor, Emmanuel Gregoire, a Socialist who says he suffered sexual abuse himself during an after-school swimming programme in primary, has announced dozens of suspensions and pledged to stamp out such violence.

“We have investigations underway in 84 preschools, around 20 primary schools, and about 10 daycare centres,” the city’s top prosecutor Laure Beccuau told the RTL broadcaster.
