The parents of the little boy who had recounted the alleged abuse they communicated with other parents from the same course and at least 10 classmates corroborated the same version. According to the students’ account, the main teacher abused them while other teachers filmed with their cell phones.
Once the first student’s complaint is corroborated, the families they began to make criminal complaints and requested a meeting with the managers. Finally, this yesterday they gathered at the doors of Kindergarten No. 9, located at 2381 Darragueyra Street.
The meeting they had with the director escalated tensions because one of the teachers was in the institution teaching three-year-olds.
“They didn’t want to call her and there came a time when we complained about her continuing to teach three or four-year-old children. The director went to the living room and wanted to remove her from the garden. We want that teacher to show her face and tell us what happened to our children”said one of the parents.
