Norma Lizbeth suffered bullying for a long time. The director of the center has been dismissed for not having dealt with the case before


Norma Lizbeth Ramos, a 14-year-old teenager, died this Monday due to blows to the head she received during the fight she had with a classmate in Teotihuacán, an archaeological town in the State of Mexico.

Her family seeks justice where she can find it.

The director of the center where she studied, Lizbeth, has been dismissed after the demonstrations that have paralyzed the entrance road to the town and the school where she studied.

Alma Delia Ramos, the victim's sister, assured that the principal and teachers were aware of the harassment.

The State of Mexico Prosecutor's Office is already investigating to find the whereabouts of the aggressor and her parents.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has asked this Friday to strengthen the "cultural, moral and spiritual" values ​​of Mexico.

The video is heartbreaking.

Neither of the two girls is over 15 years old.

They are on the outskirts of the school where they studied and where Lizbeth, according to relatives, suffered

bullying

for a long time.

Around him, a lot of equally young children recording with their cell phones.

One of the girls is seen carrying a model of what appears to be an atom.

In the other she carries the mobile with which she records.

In front, two girls who had been left to hit each other hit each other in very unequal conditions.

Lizbeth's opponent, whose identity has not yet been revealed, has a stone or something similar in her right hand and with it she deals blow after blow to Lizbeth, who is barely able to defend herself from it.

Around him, a horde of boys and girls his own age laugh at each new blow, shouting “Hit harder!”

and “Give him one in the face!”

while Lizbeth tries to get up from the ground, where she receives many blows to the head.

In a later video, Lizbeth appears with a bloody nose.

She is broken.

Her parents take her to the doctor to treat her broken nose and then they go to complain to the school authorities, who suspend the two girls and force the parents to share the medical expenses, according to El

Universal

.

With that, Lizbeth is left at home grounded and recovering from her injuries.

The weekend before her death, he begins to feel bad.

She was nauseated and dizzy on several occasions.

In one of those blackouts she no longer woke up.

The autopsy ruled that the cause of her death was head trauma, probably caused by the blows she received during the fight.

They held a wake for his body in the family home in the Nueva Evangelista neighborhood in the magical town of Teotihuacán.

She wanted to finish high school, study high school and then prepare to be a nurse, she told her family on Facebook.

The protests that have taken place during these days have caused the dismissal of the director of the center, who "will no longer work in any school," said the brother, and has managed to draw the attention of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who has pronounced about the incident this Friday during his stay in Tabasco.

“The most important thing is to strengthen cultural, moral and spiritual values, Mexico has a great reserve of values, and it is very important that families do not disintegrate and it is very important that we do not abandon our customs and traditions, not a misunderstood modernity: that our parents are older and have conservative ideas or are anachronistic, that now the good vibes are debauchery, excesses and clubs”, said the president of Mexico.

"Only by being good can we be happy, happiness is not money, designer clothes, cheap luxury, happiness is being good with yourself," López Obrador concluded.

So far this year, the Human Rights Commission of the State of Mexico has registered 93 complaints of

bullying

in schools in the region.

In 2022 they registered 390 complaints.

At the national level, the PISA school test report determined in 2018 that 2 out of 10 students had faced bullying in Mexico.

A problem derived from bullying is the one that occurs through networks.

Now minors cannot escape attacks even when they are at home.

The National Institute of Statistics (Inegi) pointed out that cyberbullying increased by 32% at the national level from 2017 to 2019 among minors between 12 and 17 years of age.

In 2019, at least 27% of adolescents were victims of this crime.

In 2021, the organization Bullying without Borders pointed out that in Mexico seven out of 10 minors suffered some type of bullying every day and this violence is also related to the subsequent development of depression and anxiety symptoms.

developed depression, according to Inegi.
