The violence between teenagers who try to resolve their disagreements with their fists, when they leave school surrounded by other classmates who encourage fighting, is as old as a server who never refused to “wait when you go” because of her age unconsciousness. The problem with this part of the bandit on duty for several years is the recording and later dissemination of these fights and attacks, which sometimes reach extreme situations, which incite extra-curricular violence and aggravate the victim’s harassment situation in bullying situations.
This is the case of a minor under the age of fourteen featured in one of the videos posted via the Telegram channel investigated by the National Police, which he only reported yesterday. elevator-EMV. Having been bullied by two classmates from a high school in a town in l’Horta—this newspaper does not disclose that the municipality has kept the minor’s identity secret—he reached such a point of despair when he saw the video last summer that he was circulating on the net where he was attacked and even tried to commit suicide.
“She wanted to throw herself off the balcony and I had to grab her by the hair,” this girl’s mother explains, still with fear, pain, and anger at her followers. “It’s hard for your daughter to tell you, ‘I don’t want to live anymore,’” she admits. “At first I didn’t know what happened to my daughter, I didn’t want to be with anyone anymore,” she says of those first moments when she wasn’t yet aware of being bullied.
He later became aware of the video showing his daughter being attacked while leaving the institute. In addition to beating and pulling her hair, her assailants subjected her to sexually humiliating acts with a sandwich.
The mother of the bullying victim contacted the channel manager to remove the video of the attack.
After preventing her daughter from jumping from the third floor, she never saw any signs of autolysis in her again, but had to change her headquarters to distance her from her supposed followers because, according to critics, when she went to ask for the teachers’ explanations, they justified themselves by saying that everything was already clear with the underage.
The woman assures that although she considered reporting these incidents to the police, she went to the police station and showed the agents the channel where the videos were uploaded, but did not file a complaint as the harassment against her daughter had ended. It’s the end of the school year after the incident, and she believes reporting the attackers will worsen problems with one of these girls’ family.
While the problems are over in her case, she wants her statement and what happened to her daughter to stop spreading videos of such assaults and fights between minors because she tells how serious those involved in the attacks were. Record and cheer up someone hitting the bullying victim.
they removed the video
After finding her Instagram account, this mom managed to contact the author who spread the images and asked her to remove the video. His reasoning was: “This happens to people, we just make it public what people do in secret.” Finally, they withdrew the video, but the same person would have opened the Telegram channel that was the subject of the investigation, as this is a more opaque social network and there are great challenges at the judicial level in closing accounts or removing violent content. contents.
He asked his Instagram followers, who had 5,000 followers at the time, to send him these violent videos. This instagramer wrote, “If you have a fight, send me a direct message.” He also provided the Telegram link, where records of these attacks among adolescents will be uploaded from the end of January. “Telegram link, fights will be there, this account will gossip and get caught.” All this confirms it’s the same admin.
Among the videos that continue to be posted on this open Telegram account are several recorded in the municipalities of Valencia and l’Horta. In one, two teenagers banging on each other in a public square in Massanassa are seen cheering by a large group of teenagers.
Some local police forces are extremely cautious when leaving schools as a preventative measure.
According to the sources cited by this newspaper, such fights occur at the exits of schools and institutes, so in some municipalities local police officers are extremely vigilant on patrols in the main secondary schools as a preventive measure to avoid such incidents. confrontations.
The Massanassa Local Police, where one of these meetups takes place, does just that. Police sources stated that they were not aware of this fight until they saw the video in question on the Telegram channel. In any case, for some time now, local police officers come and stay for a few minutes just after school, just to deter adolescents from any acts of violence.
