A shocking case of domestic violence against a middle school student in Volos has come to light following intervention by school educators. Specifically, according to ertnews sources, the minor’s teachers repeatedly observed the student entering school with visible signs of abuse and neglect. Bruises, cigarette burn marks, and injuries on various parts of her body caused intense concern among the educators. However, she consistently justified the suspicious marks on her body each time as “accidents” from carelessness.
Shock in Volos: She confessed the abuse to her teachers
According to the same source, the educators immediately notified the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office in Volos as well as the Police following the latest incident, which could no longer be concealed, as the bruises were extensive and visible even to the naked eye. At that point, the student decided to confess to her teachers that the marks on her hands were caused by beatings from her father. Additionally, she said that her minor sister had broken her arm three times within six months. The case is now in the judicial investigation phase, in order to assign responsibilities where they exist and ensure the safety of both this specific child and her sister, as beyond the violence the two girls receive, there are strong elements of neglect. Speaking to the school life counselor and the school psychologist, the child reportedly said that her mother left home because she too was a victim of the father’s violence.
