Córdoba Preschool Abuse Probe Widens as Director Is Detained

Prosecutors now allege a cover-up by the director.

Overview

  • Investigators detained the kindergarten director on suspicion of cover-up, alleging she knew of the alleged abuse and failed to report it.
  • The inquiry is led by the District III Turno 6 prosecutor, Iván Rodríguez, who plans forensic exams and technical reports in the coming weeks.
  • The teacher, detained March 12 after families filed complaints, was released with charges and barred from contacting or approaching the children.
  • Regional education authorities imposed a provisional suspension of up to six months for the teacher, with only basic pay until a final court ruling.
