The High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community (TSJCV) has ordered the Department of Education to pay €20,000 in damages to the family of a student who suffered bullying at IES Catral between 2020 and 2021. The school initially denied the existence of bullying and later suspended disciplinary actions against the three students involved, citing the COVID-19 pandemic.
The victim endured repeated insults, physical aggression, and online threats. Despite her family’s early complaints in 2019, the school dismissed the claims and failed to activate anti-bullying protocols. Only after psychiatric reports confirmed the girl’s mental health deterioration did authorities acknowledge the bullying.
By 2021, the student required home education due to severe psychological trauma. The court ruled that the school’s negligence contributed to her condition. While the Generalitat admitted partial responsibility in 2023, offering €5,000, the TSJCV’s ruling increased the compensation, highlighting the administration’s failure to protect the student.
