Choose a case
A second-year secondary student is subjected to sustained mockery and isolation over three weeks. The case follows, step by step, what the teacher, the Equipo de Gestión (the school management team) and Orientación y Psicología (the guidance and psychology service) did to stop it without humiliating anyone, and it shows how the MINERD coexistence route and the criminal protection against harassment reinforce each other when the school acts early and in writing.
A sixth-grade primary student discloses to her teacher a situation of sexual abuse at home. The case follows the reporting chain done correctly — listen without questioning, inform the same day, refer within twenty-four hours — and sets out with equal care what the teacher decided NOT to do: investigate on her own, look for proof, or confront the family.
An intimate image of a third-year secondary student begins to circulate through the phones of her class. The case shows three planes that are not to be confused: the specialised justice system that applies to the adolescents who spread it, the school’s immediate duties, and the criminal response for adults if any of them takes part in the chain.
A social-media post falsely accuses a teacher of improper conduct with students, and the comment thread names children. The case shows how the school leadership protected the teacher and the exposed students at the same time, without silencing families’ right to complain through the school’s channels.
A private school faces a serious incident during a school trip and discovers that its protocol existed on paper but not in practice. The case works through the criminal liability of the legal person — whose entry into force is deferred — and the concrete decisions the leadership took in the weeks that followed.
A primary teacher observes sustained signs of neglect in two siblings: absences, tiredness, hunger and lack of supervision at home. The case walks the correct route — observe without judging, record, activate Orientación y Psicología, refer the matter to CONANI — and distinguishes neglect linked to poverty from the lack of protection the law requires to be reported.
