Following Noëla’s suicide, her school is in the midst of a controversy. And in this article, we explain why.

This is one of the subjects that has most moved Internet users on social networks: the sad disappearance of Noëla! the Last January 13, Noëla, aged 11, committed suicide in her room just after returning from college. According to information from Le Parisien, it was the teenager’s little sister who discovered her lifeless body 40 minutes later. Noëla killed himself, hanged, with his judo belt hanging on the bathroom door. The intervention of the emergency services will not have been sufficient to resuscitate the young girl. An investigation for “research of the causes of death” was opened with the police station of the 20th arrondissement of Paris.

For the relatives of the victim, the establishment in which she was educated could be at the origin of the tragedy. A source familiar with the matter told Le Parisien: “The child’s school situation is at the center of the investigations, but it may not be bullying at school. We must remain very careful”. Noëla’s mother says she was contacted by the college, 3 days before her daughter killed herself, to tell her about an incident that happened in class. The mother explains: “The history-geography teacher accuses my daughter of having told her: ‘I am schizophrenic, if I kill you, nothing will happen’. But Noëla swore to me that she had done nothing”.

Noëla’s mother then says that her daughter had been summoned to a disciplinary council. But before that day, the girl was excluded from college. She explains : “He told us that until then, Noëla had to stay at home. While I work all day, I can’t take care of my daughter”. And the principal would have swung at him: “His place is not in school, but in a specialized psychiatric center”. Noëla’s mother affirms that her daughter has no psychiatric problem, explaining: “This was confirmed to me by the Maison des adolescents, which had followed it”. This sad affair is now in the hands of justice.
