A number of Moroccans living in Belgium accuse a female teacher of sexually abusing their 6-year old children.

A recent video published on YouTube shed light on child abuse in one of the Belgium schools targeting children of Moroccans and Egyptians immigrants.

In one school in the city of Antwerp, northern Belgium, hundreds of parents of Moroccan and Egyptian students, accused a female teacher of sexually molesting their children and protested before the school, calling on Belgium authorities to open a fair investigation on the issue.

“Four months ago, my child has come home with pain, but we never knew that his teacher is hurting him,” a Moroccan mother said.

“This is sexual harassment! This malicious teacher was choking and showing them some weird behaviors”, another Mother said.

“My husband accused me of spoiling my son when he sees him doing immoral acts, but he has nowhere to learn such bad acts except in his school,” she added.

The mothers expressed their rage at the abuse of their children, demanding the trial of the suspect teacher and the rights of their children to learn in a healthy environment.

“What happened to our children can happen to others, and these abuses have to stop” an angry mother said.

But it seemed that such mistreatment is inflicted with impunity on the children of immigrants. “When we report some of these acts in the monthly meetings with the administration staff, they turned a deaf ear. Worse they accused our children of being ill-bred,” said a Moroccan mother.

“My little daughter has been grumbling about her body a month ago, and I learned that their teacher engaged them in very abnormal practices. We take our children to be educated in schools, but this school turned to be a piece of dirt,” said an Egyptian mother.

It is morally believed that “Evil Companions Corrupt Good Morals”, but when teachers and other school staff, who are in an optimal position to prevent, and assist victims of child abuse, are themselves abusing students, it becomes more shocking.
