Minor who stabbed a girl will be transferred to another school

In an interview with EL DEBER Radio, Pedro Zeballos, one of the parents of the school where Jennifer was stabbed, indicated that the aggressor child “lunfortunately he was expelled, through the district, in an assembly. That’s what we know.”

However, unofficially, from one of the instances involved, they clarified that the minor was not expelled, but rather is being transferred to another educational establishment for your own good. The measure was taken as a form of protection to prevent him from becoming a victim of bullying. For now his parent’s signature of approval is missing.

“He is not being expelled, on Monday, the father must come to materialize the transfer, it is a recommendation of the Ombudsman for Children to prevent him from being subjected to attacks because of what happened,” they explained.

They also explained that due to a matter of competencies, this information can only be given officially by the education district. EL DEBER sought Rubén Álvarez, from the Departmental Directorate of Education, who participated in the assembly of the school involved. He regretted the situation, but until the publication of this note he did not confirm if the child would be transferred.

Alfredo Rodríguez, who has been working on bullying prevention for eight years, said that it is easy to detect this problemboth in the aggressors and in the victims.

In the case of the victims, he assured, they lose enthusiasm for going to school, they make excuses. Likewise, other warning signs are identified in small wounds that may present without a clear justification.

“There are also the children who return home with their supplies destroyed, their uniform stained, etc., they are signs that something is happening and parents cannot remain with their arms crossed,” he warned.

In regards to theoffender, clarified that he also gives signs, since he is a violent child, With no capacity for empathy, who always resorts to irascible behavior to manage his needs, and who never gives in to an argument, “he is a potential aggressor,” he said.

Additionally, he indicated that these roles (aggressor/victim) are interspersedsince the aggressor many times comes from being a victim of other violent ones, perhaps his parents, companions, etc., and he takes out his anger with other weaker ones.

In this regard, he emphasized that the expulsion of the aggressor is not the solution, since that is transferring the problem to another school. recommended enter into the family relationship of the minor aggressorin the world of that child, and discover what leads him to develop these violent behaviors.

Rodríguez regretted that it is acting badly, since there are no response protocols for cases like this. “Bullying is a constant phenomenon, every day, what happens is that we don’t find out and emerges when misfortunes occur. From time to time disaster overflows when suicides or situations like this occur. It’s a problem that hasn’t been addressed. and with which the boys deal on a daily basis”, he highlighted.
