Overview
- State prosecutors in Puebla opened four case files tied to the Carrusel Magone preschool, including one into possible sexual abuse of a girl, and the state DIF is supporting the child as a co‑advocate.
- The state Education Department suspended in‑person classes at the private campus in the Independencia neighborhood and shifted students to online lessons while inspectors review safety and access.
- Parents filmed rooms inside the school that a woman and her two sons used as a home, including a second door that opened straight into the music classroom, raising concerns about unchecked access to children.
- A widely shared video shows the space students called a “dark room,” and parents say some children reported being taken there as punishment, which authorities have not confirmed as they gather formal complaints.
- Neighbors reported the family moved out after the footage spread, and officials are taking testimonies, with the public security chief urging parents to file reports as investigators assess potential administrative and criminal responsibility.
