  • Mulchén is increasing security patrols around schools following a violent fight between two female students.
  • The municipal government will provide preventive patrols and psychosocial support despite the local education service now managing the schools.
  • The measure aims to curb escalating violence within the commune's educational institutions.

The Municipality of Mulchén has implemented a security plan to reinforce patrols around schools after a violent brawl between two students at the Liceo "Miguel Ángel Cerda Leiva" went viral this week.

Although the administration of schools was transferred to the Local Public Education Service (SLEP) Puelche this year, the municipal government has pledged to intervene. They will provide preventive patrols and psychosocial support to the families involved in an effort to curb the rising violence in the commune's educational facilities.

"We deeply regret that the girls were involved in a situation like this, and, just, also on social media. We know that the real way things are solved is by talking," said the acting mayor, Néstor Rozas.

The municipality is strengthening external security with constant preventive patrols, particularly during student arrival and departure times. This commitment underscores the town's dedication to student well-being, even without direct administrative control over the schools.

We deeply regret that the girls were involved in a situation like this, and, just, also on social media. We know that the real way things are solved is by talking.
