Sexual abuse at schools shakes France

Paris is facing a major childcare abuse scandal, with allegations of violence and sexual abuse involving staff at more than 100 public preschools, primary schools and daycare centers. Parents describe behavioral changes in children and warn that warning signs were ignored. Campaign groups have pushed for investigations, leading to the suspension of more than 130 childcare workers. As authorities promise tougher screening, training and oversight, families say justice is moving too slowly and demand accountability for systemic failures.
