French father jailed for threatening to behead son’s teacher
The father also received a three-year ban on contacting the teacher or entering the school, and must complete a citizenship course after release.
- On Thursday, a French court sentenced a father to six months in prison for threatening to "cut off the head" of a 58-year-old teacher at her school in Fauga last week.
- The confrontation followed disciplinary action against the man's nine-year-old son, who had been moved to another class due to behavior. Fauga Mayor Jean-Marie Puig said the father waited for the teacher "outside the school and apparently threatened to cut off her head."
- Presiding Judge Fabrice Rives called the threats "extremely disturbing," noting they evoke events that "unfortunately, remained in the minds of all French people." The teacher's lawyer, Jocelyn Momasso-Momasso, said his client remains "traumatised" and on sick leave.
- French Education Minister Edouard Geffray said this case will trigger one of the first uses of a new decree protecting staff from a "significant risk" to their safety or health from a student's family member.
- The incident revives memories of Samuel Paty's 2020 murder in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine by an 18-year-old Chechen refugee. The father also faces a three-year ban on contacting the teacher or entering school premises.
