A 13-year-old student in Bavaria endured more than a year of bullying and violence from Muslim classmates, triggered in part by his packed lunch, which they mocked as “not halal.” The boy was repeatedly insulted, called a “stupid German,” and physically attacked on several occasions.
A video shared among students shows five teenagers surrounding him, punching and kicking as he cries and tries to defend himself. In another incident, a 15-year-old struck him in the face during class. The teacher merely separated the two. The boy suffered a bruised jaw and a concussion and is now undergoing psychological treatment, too afraid to return to school.
His mother said she feels abandoned by the system: “It seems as if there are no consequences for the perpetrators. One feels helpless and loses faith in justice.” Her lawyer went further: “The principal is hiding behind platitudes and data protection. I have to assume that he has remained completely inactive.” The principal declined to comment, citing only a supposed “zero-tolerance” policy—which the mother dismissed as an empty phrase.
The justice system has also failed to act. The Memmingen public prosecutor’s office dropped the case against the 15-year-old attacker, stating that “the crime could not be proven with the necessary certainty.” Proceedings related to the violent video were likewise closed, as all those involved were under 14 and therefore not criminally responsible.
The case has renewed public concern over the growing radicalisation of minors in Germany. According to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), more than 1,500 Islamist-motivated offences were recorded in 2024, with around 22% of 804 suspects under 18. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) also documented 1,694 cases of “politically motivated crime–religious ideology,” 1,397 of which were linked to Islamist motives—underscoring a worrying trend of ideological violence among the young.
