Teenager injured with a knife in Cannes: a 15-year-old high school girl charged
A 15-year-old girl has been charged with attempted murder after stabbing a classmate multiple times in Cannes over a social media video.
In Cannes, a 15-year-old high school girl has been placed under judicial control and charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing a male classmate four times. The incident reportedly occurred outside a high school in the Alpes-Maritimes region, triggered by a conflict related to a video shared on social media. The prosecutor from Grasse, รric Camous, confirmed the charges, highlighting the serious nature of the attack.
According to the prosecutor's office, a psychiatric evaluation revealed that the suspect has a mild depressive disorder, which has affected her judgment. Meanwhile, the victim's injuries have resulted in a medical assessment determining a total work incapacity of ten days. The situation underscores the growing concern around youth violence and the influence of social media in escalating conflicts among adolescents.
This case not only raises questions about the mental health of young offenders but also highlights a need for more substantial interventions addressing the root causes of such violent behavior in schools. As the legal process unfolds, it will also offer insight into how the legal system handles cases involving minors and the implications for both the accused and the victim.
