Parents Report Alleged Assault on Student by Father in Capiibary

Parents at the Capiibary National College in Paraguay have filed a complaint alleging that a seventh-grade student was assaulted on school grounds by the father of another student in the same grade. The alleged incident took place on June 25. However, school administration clarified that the confrontation occurred on the street, not within the school's premises.

The complaint details that the father, accompanied by another individual believed to be his son and reportedly carrying a firearm, entered the school property. He is accused of physically and verbally assaulting a seventh-grade student, who is a classmate of the aggressor's daughter. The parents who filed the complaint are questioning the lack of action from the school's teachers, particularly the director, Gerónima Amarilla.

“

no one knows exactly why they attacked the student, although unofficially it is said that the fact would be related to a joke between classmates.

One parent, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that the exact motive for the assault is unclear, though unofficial accounts suggest it may be related to a prank between classmates. The parent emphasized that allowing a father to enter school grounds to threaten anyone, especially a child over a prank, is unacceptable.

School director Gerónima Amarilla affirmed that upon learning of the alleged incident, she initiated the procedures recommended by the Ministry of Education for such situations, starting with reporting the matter to the Capiibary police station. Subsequently, a general meeting was held with the entire educational community to confirm that the incident did not occur within the school's premises and to take necessary measures.

in no way can it be allowed for a parent to enter a premises to threaten anyone, much less a child for a joke between classmates.
