Overview
- The teacher appeared before prosecutor Melisa Di Giorgio and submitted her medical epicrisis; investigators provisionally labeled the offense “lesiones graves,” which could be upgraded.
- After treatment and discharge, colleagues say her vision remains compromised and doctors warned she could lose an eye, with further examinations pending.
- Witnesses report the attacker was a student’s mother who assaulted the teacher at Primary School No. 84 at day’s end, and staff intervened to stop the beating, though accounts differ on whether it was inside the school or at the exit.
- The Frente de Unidad Docente de San Martín led a districtwide strike and march demanding protection for educators, and the school scheduled a community meeting for Friday.
- Police from Billinghurst’s 5th precinct responded to the scene but had not announced a detention; the case is feeding calls for tighter school security, including fixed police presence and metal detectors cited in a Crónica poll.
