Overview
- The boy was treated at Hospital Sergio Bernales and underwent three surgeries to repair an intestinal perforation caused when an object allegedly hidden in his school seat became embedded in his body.
- The child spent almost a month in hospital and is now recovering at home while facing ongoing medical follow-up.
- The family says medical bills and related costs reached about S/12,000 and that contributions from the other pupil’s family and school fundraisers have not covered those expenses.
- The victim’s parents presented WhatsApp messages alleging that fundraiser proceeds were routed through the alleged aggressor’s mother rather than delivered directly to the injured child’s family, and the boy’s mother says the school director initially downplayed the injury and said she was not present that morning.
- Prosecutors will take testimony from the mother and the child on October 27 as the family seeks full compensation and the fiscal inquiry will aim to clarify how the injury happened and who is legally responsible.
