The facts date back to May 30. A young schoolboy, born in 2009 in Syria, obtained a film showing a knife beheading through Instagram messaging. The latter then broadcast it to some classmates from his college in Toulouse, according to our information, confirming revelations from the Dispatch.
He was taken into custody last Friday and referred to the prosecution in stride this weekend. The facts are traced to the investigators through a Toulouse family, whose son is educated in the same establishment as the young suspect. According to La Dépêche du midi, in early June, a mother finds that her son is disturbed. Concerned parents question their child, who is also autistic, to understand what is happening to him.
The schoolboy ends up confiding in his mother that one of his classmates forced him to watch images of beheadings, before threatening to reproduce this horror scene on his family. The parents of this 15-year-old schoolboy then filed a complaint, which led to the arrest of the young suspect who admitted having broadcast these videos but denies any threat against the alleged victim and his family. The referral was requested by the prosecution because of “the coldness of this young man in the face of a particularly shocking video,” according to our information.
This young Syrian, whose family is already followed by the judicial protection of youth, is being prosecuted for “disseminating the recording of images relating to the commission of a willful attack on the integrity of the person,” an offense which can earn him up to 5 years in prison.
The prosecution has summoned him for a guilty hearing to be held on September 11, 2023, if the juvenile judge finds him guilty, it will be followed by a sanction hearing, according to the Code of Criminal Justice for Minors. In the meantime, the suspect has been released, the children’s judge has however taken a “provisional judicial educational measure,” with, among other things, an integration module and psychological care supervised by the Toulouse PJJ.
