Andalusia Refers Seville Teen’s Suicide to Prosecutors After Inspectors Find School Failed to Trigger Safeguard Protocols

The move to prosecutors raises the prospect of administrative and legal consequences for the Seville school.

Overview

  • Regional inspectors concluded Colegio Irlandesas Loreto did not activate the anti-bullying or suicide-risk procedures mandated by Andalusian regulations, noting only steps such as separating students and follow-up.
  • The education department opened an administrative proceeding and sent the inspection file to the Fiscalía, while the Andalusian ombudsman launched a separate review.
  • Policía Nacional continues to handle the death as a suicide and reports no prior police complaint of bullying on file, with the Homicidios unit pursuing inquiries.
  • Family members say the mother had repeatedly alerted school leaders to sustained bullying and to a prior suicide attempt, and they are weighing legal action.
  • The school issued a message of condolence and said it is coordinating with authorities and wellbeing teams, without addressing the protocol findings, as protests and graffiti outside the campus demanded accountability.
