Oviedo (EFE).- The Juvenile Section of the Principality of Asturias Prosecutor’s Office has initiated proceedings to determine the existence of a possible case of bullying in Gijón, after a 20-year-old girl took her own life last Saturday after leaving a handwritten letter in which he denounced the alleged harassment suffered during his college days.
As reported by the Prosecutor’s Office of the Principality of Asturias, the proceedings have been initiated this Wednesday after receiving in the Juvenile Section of the Prosecutor’s Office the report of the National Police Corps, by order of the Investigating Court number 2 of Gijón.
From said report it can be deduced that the alleged perpetrators of the events, “if their existence is confirmed”, were minors at the time of their perpetration.
The Prosecutor’s Office will practice the evidence it deems appropriate “to specify the events that occurred, the dates on which they supposedly happened and the alleged perpetrators.”
The President of the Principality, Adrián Barbón, also announced last Sunday that the Asturian Government is going to open an investigation after the death of the young former student of the La Asunción de Gijón school, whose body was found on Saturday at the foot of the Santa Catalina hill, in Gijon.
Barbón insisted yesterday that “one cannot be silent” in the face of bullying, a situation that must be denounced by those who know it “in one way or another.”
For its part, the management of the educational center published a note on Saturday in which it expressed its “enormous sadness and shock” and assured that “good coexistence and the fight against bullying are among its fundamental principles.”
For this reason, the management makes itself “available to the family, the educational community and, if necessary, the authorities.” EFE
