France admits 'failures' in prevention of teen bullying, suicides

The French government has admitted that France is not up to the task in addressing school bullying, after the revelation that local education authorities sent a threatening letter to the parents of a boy who died by suicide after complaining of being bullied.

The 15-year-old boy, named as Nicolas, killed himself on 5 September, the day after children went back to school across France following the summer break.
