A 14-year-old student at the Irlandesas Loreto school in Seville committed suicide this Tuesday by jumping into the void after, according to the family, suffering alleged prolonged school bullying by a group of classmates; The situation has led to the opening of administrative and criminal investigations and the intervention of emotional support teams at the center.
The educational center has not given new statements after a statement published this Wednesday in which they assure that it is working on the case in coordination with the authorities.
This is what we know about the death of the minor, a student at the Irlandesas Loreto school in Seville:
The minor allegedly took her own life this Tuesday after returning from class shortly after 2:30 p.m. He jumped from a balcony onto Rafael Laffón Street. The family had reported that the teenager received insults about her physique and that she had previously attempted suicide.
The Board’s investigation
The Educational Inspection of the Junta de Andalucía traveled to the center and is collecting documentation and testimonies to analyze the measures adopted by the school; The Department of Educational Development will open an administrative file to clarify responsibilities upon verifying that the center did not activate the mandatory protocols against harassment or the protocol for self-harming behavior.
Judicial and police action
The Ministry will refer all available information to the Prosecutor’s Office to assess possible criminal responsibilities; The National Police maintains an open investigation into the death, with the intervention of the Homicide Group.
The center’s response
After learning of the facts, the school has reported that they have implemented a series of measures and that they have received a visit from emotional well-being teams from the Territorial Delegation to provide support and guidance to students and teachers. The management of the center claims to have provided the Educational Inspection with all the available information.
“A useless protocol”
A fact that has drawn attention is that among the Google reviews of the Irlandesas de Loreto school there are user comments dated a month ago in which the school’s policy on harassment is precisely criticized. “The harassment protocol is useless because they ask the students knowing that they will not recognize the facts.” “Very bad experience, having knowledge of many cases of bullying. They do not provide a solution.” “I know people who have been anxious about not going because they questioned the student’s word.”
