Authorities from Mossos d’Esquadra are handling a serious sexual assault report involving a 15-year-old student at the La Segarra de Cervera Institute in Barcelona. The incident is said to have occurred within the school premises during compulsory secondary education, with two classmates identified as the alleged attackers in the third year of ESO.
The minor’s family has spoken out about the incident, noting that a few weeks prior the rivals had reportedly made some kind of reconciliation. The family asserts that the alleged misconduct took place inside the educational center, raising questions about what safety measures were in place for students in the facility.
According to the accounts provided by the affected teen’s mother, the two individuals trapped her child indoors, removed his clothing, and proceeded to touch him without consent. The gravity of the allegations has prompted a formal investigation by the police, with the case subsequently being forwarded to the juvenile prosecutor’s office to pursue the appropriate legal steps and determine the next course of action.
For the family, the situation is especially alarming because they fear the behavior could recur. The boy returned to school after a fifteen‑day absence to recover, and there are concerns about ongoing risk for him and other students if such incidents are not properly addressed by the school authorities and safety protocols.
In response to the events, a group of families from the La Segarra de Cervera Institute gathered on a Friday to express their concern. They protested not only the alleged assault but also what they describe as insufficient action by the school to address bullying and to mediate conflicts between students. The demonstration reflected a broader demand for clearer safeguarding policies within the school and stronger oversight to protect students from harassment and abuse on campus, according to reports from the community and the families involved.
Social workers and school administrators have been urged to cooperate with the authorities to ensure a transparent review of the incident. The case underscores the ongoing challenges schools face in preventing abuse and guaranteeing safe learning environments. While investigators continue to collect statements and review surveillance wherever available, families and guardians are seeking timely updates and tangible steps to prevent any repetition of similar events in the future, and to reinforce a culture of respect and accountability in the school community.
Experts note that incidents of this nature demand a coordinated response that includes mental health support for the victim, counseling for peers who witnessed the events, and formal training for staff on recognizing early warning signs of abuse. The school’s leadership has been called upon to communicate clearly with parents about the measures being taken, the timeline of the investigation, and the resources available to students struggling with the aftermath of such experiences. Inquiries continue as authorities evaluate the appropriate penalties and educational interventions for the alleged perpetrators, ensuring due process while prioritizing the safety and wellbeing of all students involved.
Parents and educators alike stress the importance of maintaining a safe school climate where students feel protected and heard. The case at La Segarra de Cervera Institute serves as a stark reminder that safeguarding policies must be rigorous, consistently enforced, and adaptable to evolving circumstances within the education system. The community awaits further updates from the juvenile prosecutor’s office and the Mossos d’Esquadra, alongside ongoing assurances that preventive measures will be reinforced across all levels of schooling to deter such violations in the future, as noted by local authorities and family representatives (citation: Mossos d’Esquadra).
