Rectorat Confirms Serious School Bullying in Sara’s Case

Officials briefed the parents in a private meeting to honor the family’s privacy.

Overview

  • The rectorat said Saturday that its administrative inquiry found "serious school bullying" and that the conclusions were given to Sara’s parents in a meeting with the rector and the local schools chief.
  • Police are still investigating the 9-year-old’s death on October 11, 2025, when her mother found her at home with a farewell note nearby.
  • According to prosecutor Olivier Glady, the parents told police their daughter was mocked about her weight by two or three classmates in her CM2 class.
  • In April, the family started an association called "Sara, une voix pour tous" to raise awareness about bullying, which the rectorat says it supports.
  • In France, a rectorat’s administrative inquiry reviews school conduct and accountability, separate from the criminal probe led by police and prosecutors.
