"If you move, I'll hit you": a Lyon schoolboy beaten up during a dangerous "game" gives his testimony

With this testimony, his parents wish to raise awareness about this dangerous "game". Recently, their son, a middle school student in the 9th arrondissement of Lyon, was beaten up by other students in the toilets of the school.

According to his account, five students attacked three middle school students, shouting at them "if you move, I'll hit you". "One of them came towards me, grabbed me and kneed me in the stomach", recounts the victim, who was beaten for nearly two minutes. Around thirty blows were given.

"Once on the ground, I was hit by all five, all over my body." After the incident, the student complained of pain to a teacher and was then taken to the emergency room. He was prescribed five days of temporary incapacity for work.

The father of the assaulted schoolboy now wants to raise awareness about the risks of these "games" for young people. "The witnesses who were there, when they saw my son fall, they were very scared because he fell a few centimetres from the sink and we know very well that it could have ended dramatically."

Despite the facts described by the victim, only two of her attackers were permanently excluded from the establishment. The other three returned to class after the disciplinary council. "I know that I will meet them again in the corridors, I don't know if they are angry with me. In my opinion, they probably are, I don't know what they will be able to do to me," worries the student.

At least two other victims have been identified within the establishment for similar acts. A complaint has been filed at the police station and an investigation is underway.
