The video clip caused widespread reactions after it was widely circulated among the pages of social media platforms across Tunisia, so that the documented scenes shocked some of the blue astronauts on Facebook, who did not believe that what happened was real, as one of them said: “Honestly, I... I am shocked, God Almighty, someone comes out and tells me he is acting...!!!” Doubting that the scenes are staged.
While others called on the competent authorities to arrest the mother, investigate her, and take strong decisions against her in order to restore the prestige of the teacher, education, and school.
While some activists on the “X” platform explained what the mother did, that it was due to psychological disorders that she may suffer from, and one of them said: “The woman appears to be in psychological distress, and publishing such videos is unacceptable, and creates confusion among the general public and is of no benefit to the school or the teacher. The director handed him over to the security, the judiciary, and the education representative,” holding the video publisher responsible for the uproar it caused.
The woman appears to be in psychological distress, and publishing such videos is unacceptable. It creates confusion among the public and is of no benefit to the school or the teacher. The principal should have handed him over to security, the judiciary, and to the education representative... Such behavior, we condemn, confuses institutions and only serves the president’s opponents.
