14-year-old teenager attacks colleague with scissors to the neck inside a school in Paraná and is apprehended

A 14-year-old teenager was arrested after attacking a classmate of the same age with scissors to the neck, inside a classroom at the Colégio Estadual Cívico-Militar Brasmadeira, in Cascavel, in western Paraná. The case happened on Friday morning (6).

According to the Civil Police, the student changed places in the room to sit behind the victim and then struck her several times with school scissors in the neck area.

The victim suffered bruises and was rescued by teachers. The injuries were minor and the victim is not at risk.

According to delegate Thais Zanatta, responsible for the case, the victim said she was being bullied by her colleague.

"The victim reported that she was repeatedly bullied by the author of the events and was threatened yesterday," said the delegate.

The attack took place around 7:50 am and was interrupted after an intervention inside the school. The Military Police School Patrol was called, seized the scissors and sent the teenagers to police procedures.

The student responsible for the attack was caught red-handed for criminal acts equivalent to the crimes of attempted murder, threat and systematic intimidation, known as bullying.

According to the Civil Police, attempted murder was considered because the blows were aimed at the neck, a vital region of the body.

The teenager was taken to the Socioeducation Center (Cense) in Cascavel. After a preliminary analysis, the Public Ministry of Paraná (MPPR) asked the Court for her provisional hospitalization.

"The police authority charged the suspect for the infractions and sent her to the Census. The MP carried out a preliminary analysis and represented the teenager's provisional hospitalization", explained Zanatta.

The case will be analyzed by the Children and Youth Court. The Civil Police also requested examinations from the Legal Medical Institute (IML) and protective measures for the victim.

In a statement, the Regional Education Center (NRE) of Cascavel reported that it is monitoring the case and that the teenagers' families have been contacted.

According to the agency, a multidisciplinary team is providing care to the victim, family members and students who witnessed the attack.

The center also stated that it works with the protection network to evaluate security measures and develop actions to prevent violence in the school environment.
