La Plata and Catamarca School Bullying Cases Spur Probes and Demands for Action

Judicial authorities opened inquiries after families filed formal complaints with video and chat evidence.

Overview

  • In La Plata, a sixth-grader identified as A.A. was attacked by a classmate during recess and inside the classroom, sustaining multiple injuries treated at Sor María Ludovica Children’s Hospital.
  • The family delivered a video of the assault to the School Council and reported prior aggression by the same student, while the mother says school leaders downplayed the episode as a “game.”
  • The girl’s mother shared chat screenshots showing threats that she would be “waited for outside,” and the child remains under medical follow-up.
  • In Catamarca’s capital, a mother reported to Judicial Investigations Unit No. 5 that her 12-year-old daughter was repeatedly bullied by two classmates who beat her, cut her hair, stole belongings, and issued threats.
  • The Catamarca family requested restraining measures and a medical evaluation after the child was taken to the Eva Perón Pediatric Center, and the justice system is investigating that complaint.
