Seville Prosecutors Broaden School Bullying Case, Order Removal of Minors’ Images; Andalusia Weighs Phone and Social Media Bans

Prosecutors await the police report to identify minors after instructing a platform to take down photos of alleged aggressors.

Overview

  • Seville’s juvenile prosecutor has opened two proceedings: a supervision file on Irlandesas Loreto’s handling of warnings and a juvenile reform file on alleged student aggressors.
  • The office has not yet received the National Police atestado, a prerequisite to confirm identities and assess whether any minors are criminally imputable.
  • A separate criminal inquiry targets the online dissemination of images and threats against three minors, with a request to a social network to remove the photos.
  • Regional inspectors concluded the school failed to activate anti-bullying and self-harm protocols; the Junta warns the center could lose its public funding contract if a very serious breach is confirmed.
  • Amid continued police presence outside the school, Andalusian president Juanma Moreno proposes prohibiting phones and social media for minors involved in bullying, while in Mexico City 12-year-old Nicole recovers after a school assault as SEP and AEFCM provide support and experts push prevention-focused models.
