Girl Dies After Head Injury at Rosario School; Father Questions Account

In Rosario, a profound tragedy has struck the heart of our community. A vibrant six-year-old girl, a student at School No. 117 Islas Malvinas, lost her life in a devastating accident during recess. Reports indicate she tripped on her untied shoelaces, a simple, everyday occurrence, and tragically struck her head on a cement bench. The impact was so severe that she passed away shortly after being rushed to the Hospital de Niños Víctor J. Vilela.

In this moment of so much pain, the entire institution accompanies her family, embracing them tightly in such an irreparable loss. As an educational community, we also accompany her classmates and teachers.

The school, shrouded in grief, has suspended classes to allow for mourning and support. A somber message on the school's door conveyed the institution's deep sorrow and commitment to accompanying the family, classmates, and teachers through this irreparable loss. They have announced a return to activities on Tuesday, emphasizing the need for a space of support and containment for the children.

I passed by home, grabbed a towel and a shirt, because supposedly it was minor and when I got to the school I saw the ambulance and the stretcher. It wasn't a little bump, as they told me.

However, amidst the sorrow, the father of the young girl, Ricardo Miqueo, has voiced significant doubts about the official reconstruction of events. He stated that when he arrived at the school, his daughter's shoes were tied, contradicting the narrative that she tripped on untied laces. His poignant words, shared with the local media, express a father's anguish and a community's need for clarity. This incident, while a tragic accident, also raises questions that demand careful consideration, reflecting a local concern for truth and accountability even in the face of immense pain.

They said she tripped on her shoelaces, but when I picked up my daughter from the floor in the office, her sneakers were tied just as they were when she left my house.
