Seville Teen's Suspected Bullying Suicide Triggers Probes Into School's Response

Investigators are assessing whether the school failed to act after the family reported harassment weeks earlier.

Overview

  • Andalusian authorities report the school did not activate the mandated anti-bullying protocol despite an August warning from the family.
  • The Juvenile Prosecutor is examining the center’s handling and the role of three classmates, and has sought removal of the girls’ images from social platforms after online threats.
  • The National Police juvenile unit visited the school this week and is analyzing Sandra’s phone to determine whether harassment continued on the internet.
  • The three minors identified in the complaint stopped attending in person on October 16 and are receiving remote instruction for safety under an arrangement with inspectors.
  • Separately, Catalan police are probing whether a July death in Lleida was linked to bullying, while Murcia’s prosecutor handled 138 serious cases in 2024 and 900 teachers in Euskadi coordinate school responses.
