Shocking images. Around twenty Parisian establishments targeted by attack threats this Wednesday. At Madame de Staël college in the 15th arrondissement of the capital, students from two fourth grade classes received a threatening message accompanied by a beheading video. Europe 1 went to the end of class. The cries of the students ring out as usual when the bell rings, but some come out looking absent. They received the famous video and watched it. 

"There was a telegram channel which showed people being beheaded. And there was also a message which said 'we must exterminate all the disbelievers' and which came from the Islamic State. I was scared to death. beginning,” explains Adam, a student at the establishment.

Fear and shock. Especially since the video was quickly spread among the students. This fourth grade student received it from a friend, is he trying to protect himself? to distance yourself? He expresses himself in his own words about what he saw: "Well it's people who behead people... They warn that they are going to do harm, attack children and kill people. It was a bit shocking all the same. It's a coward's technique." Hyppolite is worried about his younger comrades "It's a bit shocking to see that. There are especially people younger than us who are there on the ENT and it can really shock them."

If classes resumed after the intervention of the deminers, the images that some saw will not be erased from their memories quickly.
