The new mayor of the French capital pledged Friday to stop sexual violence in schools and pre-schools, saying Paris had suspended more than 30 school monitors suspected of sexual abuse since January.

School monitors recruited and trained by the city help look after children outside the classroom, including in the evening before their parents can pick them up.
