A second school in Strasbourg has come under scrutiny after incidents involving sexual violence between children were reported. At the Camille-Hirtz primary school, an elementary school student was moved to a different class following reports of "sexual acts" between children, according to the rectorate of the academy on Friday, September 18. This is the second such incident in Strasbourg within a few days, following similar reports at the Schoepflin school, where parents protested how the National Education system handled a previous case.
According to the rectorate, parents at the Camille-Hirtz school reported in early May 2026 that their children had experienced "statements and sexual acts" by another student in the same class during various school times. In response, the student responsible was moved to a different class, separating her from the affected students during both school and after-school hours. The rectorate also mentioned that the "vigilance of the educational team has been strengthened" and that "adjustments" to play areas have been made. Two parents have filed formal complaints, requesting the alleged aggressor be transferred to a different school.
One parent, the mother of a seven-year-old child, reported to France 3 Grand Est that her daughter was a victim of digital penetration and forced cunnilingus. These new allegations have come amid ongoing tensions at the Schoepflin school, where most parents had withdrawn their children earlier in the week, denouncing an "omerta"—a code of silence—regarding a five-year-old student accused of sexual violence against her classmates. Parents were upset to see that the accused child was still present at the start of the school year, and the rectorate confirmed on Monday evening that she would be transferred to a different school.
The incidents have raised concerns about the handling of such sensitive matters within the education system. Parents are demanding greater transparency and accountability, while authorities are working to implement measures aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of students. The situation continues to unfold as schools and families navigate the challenges of addressing these serious allegations.
