Parents Seek Maximum Sanction in Sandra Peña Case as Three Classmates Called to Testify

The case now proceeds on two tracks, with scrutiny of the students' conduct alongside alleged protocol failures at the school.

Overview

  • Sandra Peña’s parents testified before Seville’s Juvenile Prosecutor, followed by the school’s director, head of studies, counselor and tutor, as police delivered its minors-unit report.
  • The three classmates under investigation are scheduled to give statements next Monday, with potential juvenile liability because they are over 14.
  • Regional authorities state Irlandesas Loreto failed to activate anti-bullying and self-harm prevention protocols despite alerts from the family in early September.
  • The Andalusian government has created a conciliation commission that could impose administrative penalties on the school, including loss of its public funding agreement.
  • Separately, the Junta announced a bullying congress to convene families, educators, experts and jurists to develop preventive measures.
