Toulouse: a six-year-old boy finds himself alone at the door of the school because he does not wear a mask
Without a mask, without a school, and all alone in the street. A 6-year-old boy found himself at the school gate on Monday in a street in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne). In question: the child did not have a mask although it is compulsory to wear it. But a little one still cannot be excluded if he does not wear one.
The boy came out of school on his own to pick up his mask at home. “On the way home,” explains his mother to the Midi Dispatch, what was my great amazement to see my son accompanied by a friend of the family, who had found him at the tobacco shop (…) Our son could have been kidnapped without anyone flinching, his life was seriously damaged in danger. “
According to the child’s father, who told La Dépêche, “the director refused his son’s access to school because he was not wearing a mask”.
“A total awkwardness”
But according to the academic director of Haute-Garonne, this is a “clumsiness”. “It’s a total awkwardness between the director of the school and the director of the Alae (a leisure center associated with the school). One said to the student Put on your mask, the other Go get your mask, explains Louis Alberici. In short, the child, no longer knowing what to do or where to go, found himself outside. I understand the parents’ anger. I asked the director to receive them and he apologized to them. On a curly disaster. “
On the side of the town hall, the assistant for social affairs shares, according to La Dépêche, “the indignation” and “the incomprehension of the family of the little boy.
“For us, this is a serious alert, we must strengthen surveillance at the entrance to the school. », Suggests Louis Alberici, who wants the school to strengthen its protocol for welcoming children.
