The trial of Pascale L.

, a French teacher accused of moral harassment, has begun in Pontoise, France.

She is charged with harassing three students, including 11-year-old Evaëlle, who tragically took her own life in 2019. Allegations include public humiliation, isolating students, and verbal abuse.

Former students recall being called "stupid" and feeling deeply demoralized.

This case marks the first time a teacher in France faces trial for harassment leading to a student's suicide.

The trial highlights the urgent need to address bullying in schools and its devastating consequences.
