A 15-year-old student has had their hand blown off after picking up a stun grenade being used by police as mass school protests continue across France, local authorities said.

The incident comes as nearly 500 schools are expected to be completely or partially closed following student protests across the country over dilapidated schools and classrooms, overcrowding and teacher shortages preceding a nationwide day of demonstrations on Tuesday.

    Yep, my home was victim to robbery with sexual assault and the best I can say the cops did was ensure he didn’t come back that night for more. They basically asked if we had a camera, then checked if we had drugs, and that was the extent of the investigation. They didn’t notice the cut window screen or footprint under that window.
