The Ministry of Educational Development and Vocational Training confirmed on Monday that the institute where one of the two teenagers found dead on Saturday in Jaén studied kept the self-harm protocol open last year and “adopted appropriate measures,” according to an official statement. He did not clarify in his note whether he was referring to Rosemead, 15, or Sharif, 16, who were found dead early Saturday morning in a park in central Jaén.
The Ministry explained in its text that at the time of the event, only one of the minors was registered at IES San Juan Bosco in the capital, Jaen, in the intermediate course of vocational training. The other student, although she initially enrolled, dropped out of school in September, according to what the council indicated. IES Santa Catalina, where he taught last year, kept its self-harm protocol open.
According to the board’s memorandum, this center “adopted corresponding measures, following up on the procedures previously implemented at IES El Valle, with interventions by the counselor and the school nurse, as well as in the family environment.” The Ministry renewed the call for caution and calm awaiting the results of the police investigation. “It is time to extend all support and affection in these difficult days to the families, friends and educational community of which they were part,” the administration stated.
