Parents' #MeTooÉcole Letter Urges Macron to Act on Nursery School Abuse Reports

Parents demand a national audit with mandatory background checks following Paris disclosures of dozens of suspensions and 15 investigations.

Overview

  • In an open letter published by La Tribune Dimanche, the #MeTooÉcole collective appeals to Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron for a public response and decisive measures to protect children.
  • Paris prosecutors confirm 15 investigations opened in 2025 into alleged sexual assaults in the capital’s nursery schools.
  • City officials report 36 after‑school staff suspensions this year, including 19 tied to suspected sexual violence against minors.
  • Paris has launched inspections and administrative probes, with a first report on the Alphonse‑Baudin school to be presented to parents and reviews ongoing at Bullourde, Faidherbe and Servan, alongside nine administrative inquiries.
  • The collective seeks systematic vetting, clear school‑level reporting and protection protocols, whistleblower safeguards and a national audit, as the government signals a bill expected in early 2026 to require clean criminal records for those working with minors.
