A bouquet of flowers hung at the main entrance of the Louis Armand high school in Golbey (Vosges), where Lucas was educated, on January 13, 2023.

MISCELLANEOUS – The mother of young Lucas, a schoolboy who committed suicide in early January in Golbey in the Vosges, spoke for the first time at a press conference organized in Épinal alongside his lawyer, Me Catherine Faivre .

Very moved, the 35-year-old mother wanted to send a message to the four teenagers who harassed her son.

“I can’t imagine any pain, they are kids. It just has to make them think, maybe they intervene with us, they explain what happened, they regret, they participate in actions to prevent, to tell what what happened, what can happen to people who are harassed”said the mother in particular.

“They are Lucas’ age. I still have to blame them because my son is gone, because they weren’t cool, because they were mean. But if I could help others with their feelings, it would be one more victory, a step forward to make everyone think.”she added.

The four college students implicated will be tried in the spring for harassing and pushing Lucas to suicideannounced Friday the public prosecutor Frédéric Nahon.
