"Mom, I'm leaving, they make my life impossible": the word left by a victim of intimidation – ElSol.com.ar – Diario de Mendoza, Argentina

"He left a note." National police and municipal police officers managed to reach the house 20 seconds late. These precious seconds escaped them, checking that the door was locked and trying to enter the neighbor's house through the window. Once inside, they barely managed to see D.'s feet rushing into space. Downstairs, there were a lot of people but they could not stop it. He had just thrown himself out the window. Inside, they found the television and a newspaper. There was also a message with the last words that the 16 year old would send to his family. "Mom, I'm leaving, they've stolen me, they make my life impossible."

That happened last Monday at 23 Nicolás Godoy Street, Usera, south of Madrid, around noon. It is the only building in the short and modest street of this neighborhood that reaches six heights. The week began and the young D. had not gone to the institute, IES Ciudad de Jaén, since March.

He missed Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. However, in principle, nothing seemed to go wrong. On the last day of the previous week, his mother had a tutoring meeting at the institute and was told that in principle, everything was fine. This Thursday, four days after the tragedy, twenty minutes away, the National Police officers arrested one of their comrades. They claim to have spent months harbading him at school.

The witnesses of the events, who live in the same street, explain to this diary that D. had thought about it several times before jumping into the void. Twenty minutes ago, he was in the living room and watching TV, lying on the couch. His brother and mother had gone to work a few hours earlier. I was alone at home.

About half-past twelve in the morning he opened the window facing the street, took one leg toward the void, but hesitated, and returned to the interior. So many times, until one of the attempts, almost the final, the neighbor of the opposite building observed it through the window.

The young man, of Ecuadorian origin, wore a white sweatshirt to walk around the house, a shirt and socks of the same color. The neighbor of the building across the street, overcome by fear, began shouting at him and doing all sorts of things to make him give up his intentions. One of the main witnesses to the events is that, across the street, this same neighbor, who just phoned to alert the police, started shouting in desperation: "You're involved, you're involved! "I wanted to avoid tragedy at all costs.

The agents arrived and outside the boy was still perched at the window, a half-body on the outside. Half of the street viewed from below. They climbed the elevator up to the sixth floor. They entered the neighbor 's house and a few seconds before bending down to reach the next floor heard the thud.

A sort of corrala patio, the typical green awnings that abound in the suburbs of Madrid, the houses whose windows are facing outwards and inwards. The building from where he threw himself out the window was recently his new home. A simple place "They had moved a month ago," says the doorman of the building. The family unit consisted of three people: he, his mother and his older brother. Every morning, both went to work and he went to school. There, apparently, began hell.

The IES Ciudad de Jaén is an institute that has been part of the controversy for years. Located between Hospital 12 de Octubre and the Orcasitas district, the center is ready to host, according to the regional federation of neighborhood badociations of Madrid five years ago, about 800 students. In fact, they served more than 1,100. At that time, this group reported that there were "not enough teachers badigned to the school integration and compensation programs or to the control technicians. nor service staff.
