The family of a student at a school in Bilbao who has been harassed has claimed 150,000 euros from the educational centre for doing nothing in the face of a bullying case and the serious psychiatric and physical consequences it has caused.

Lawyer Celia Larrocea has explained to EFE that this is the highest demand ever made in the state for a bullying case.

The case occurred in the 2021-2022 school year at the concerted school in the Santutxu district when the victim's parents were only five years old. The victim's parents quickly realized that something strange was happening to her daughter. After talking to the school several times, they finally went to the Education Department of the Basque Government and launched the bullying protocol, but nothing was detected.

Harassment began in the year 2022-2023, when the victim was in the second grade of Compulsory Secondary Education, where her classmates "assaulted, insulted, humiliated" and "isolated" her at and outside school.

"School was a clear case of harassment," the lawyer noted.

The victim's family informed the school of what was happening, but according to counsel, what he had done to protect the victim and prevent the attacks.

For this reason, they claim compensation of €150,000 from the school as civil liability and damages.
