In a troubling incident from Seine-et-Marne, two boys aged 9 and 10 were arrested after they threatened a caregiver with a knife in a youth educational facility in Le Mée-sur-Seine. The boys fled after the threatening act but were quickly apprehended at their home by law enforcement. Despite the intensity of the threats which left the 28-year-old caregiver in shock, she fortunately did not sustain any physical injuries, and the weapon used in the incident was recovered by the police.

The incident has sparked discussions on the rising issues of violence involving minors, particularly concerning the accessibility of weapons like knives. Following evaluations by a psychiatric expert, the children were deemed 'non discernant', which refers to their capacity to understand the consequences of their actions, leading to their placement in a different facility. This incident is just one of several alarming cases involving minors and weapons, prompting calls for more stringent measures to address youth behavior and related societal issues.

This event's implications extend beyond the immediate criminal aspect; it raises broader questions about the systems in place for handling troubled youth and the resources available to educators and caregivers in such environments. The psychological welfare of both the minors involved and the caregiver must also be a priority, indicating a need for more comprehensive support and intervention strategies in youth facilities to prevent future incidents of violence.
