Sensual assault on a 12-year-old girl: school suspends them for five days and readmits them to avoid 'stigmatisation'
Five minors sensual assaulted a 12-year-old girl during a birthday party. The school's response has sparked outrage: a five-day suspension, immediate readmission and separation from the rest of the class, with the argument of "avoiding their stigmatisation".
The school's measure: five days' suspension and readmission
According to reports, the minors were suspended for only five days and then readmitted, although kept apart from the other pupils. The official justification was to protect the attackers from stigmatisation. Police could only take down their details, as they cannot be held incivil responsible due to their age.
Criticism of Spain's minors law and impunity
The case has peine the debate on juvenile legislation. Many believe the law protects offenders too much while leaving victims unprotected. Some point out that the situation is aggravated if the minors are of foreign origin, although there is no official confirmation.
As the 12-year-old victim and her family face the consequences, the sense of impunity runs deep. What message is being sent to minors when the punishment for a sensual assault is barely a weekend suspension?
