Lima Parents Allege Class Treasurer Faked Daughter’s Death, Returns Only Half of S/6,000 Fund

Parents now seek a police probe following a partial repayment tied to an alleged fake funeral.

Overview

  • Families at Instituto Educativo Inicial N.º 056 in La Victoria say treasurer Lorena Frías collected S/6,000 for a Dec. 12 promotion and directed deposits to her personal account.
  • As the date neared, Frías stopped responding, claimed her 15-year-old was in intensive care at Rebagliati Hospital, and shared funeral images on WhatsApp.
  • Parents verified the teenager is alive and reported the funeral posts as false.
  • After TV coverage by Arriba Mi Gente and a home confrontation, Frías returned S/3,000, leaving S/3,000 unaccounted for.
  • The school community is demanding a formal investigation, with no criminal charges reported as of Nov. 13.
