14-year-old’s father contacted no data report the case. He said that the family has been living in Indayal for two years, originally from Barra Velha, and that he learned about the situation about 15 days ago through the headmaster.

“The principal of the school called me because she found out that a 35-year-old teacher was contacting my 14-year-old daughter. My wife and I leave early for work, she is alone at home and it seems that four months ago he was involved with her, ”he said in shock.

The man also said that this is not the first relationship between a teacher and a student. “He got pregnant by a student, got involved with my daughter and was already trying to start a relationship with another student,” he said.

On Friday (23) the parents took the teenager to the GPI (General Institute of Forensic Science) to undergo a forensic medical examination. “It was her first participation. Imagine, a 35-year-old teacher, if it was someone her age, fine. He even gave control of the gates of his house to my daughter so she could get in,” he retorts.

The father points out that the girl is an excellent student and the teacher manipulated her. “He told my daughter to delete calls, conversations. I had to take her cell phone so they could do a forensic examination. We found out that they deleted the messages that he deleted and denied everything, but later her daughter told us. She is a diligent girl, from 1st to 9th grade, like now, she gets only good grades. And her mind was manipulated, he manipulated her head,” the man defends himself.

What the police say

The delegate in charge of the investigation, Flavia Rigoni, said the police had launched an investigation into the facts. “Because there are other victims/students of this teacher who are 14 years old,” he said. She also said that the defendants were being interrogated, but she could not give details, since the case concerns minors, the investigation is conducted in secret.

What does the Indaial education department say?

In a memo sent by the ministry to accompany the report, the city’s education department said the teacher was immediately suspended from duty and that administrative disciplinary proceedings were initiated to investigate the violations. Read the note in full.

“Recently, at a public school system school in Indiana, a teacher who specializes in listening noticed that a student was behaving differently than usual. So she spoke to the student to get some information about what was going on. After verifying the alleged case of harassment against a school teacher, the information was transferred to the leadership and the city education department, which reported the fact to the authorities involved in the case: the Board of Trustees and the Civil Police. Since the municipal department of education bears administrative responsibility, the teacher was immediately removed from his duties, and administrative disciplinary proceedings were initiated to investigate the alleged violations. The civil police are investigating the matter.”
