“Shocking Classroom Violence: Mother Speaks Out as Son Faces Charges for Teacher’s Severe Injury”
Shortly after the incident, the student’s mother came forward to defend her son, claiming he reacted after weeks of mistreatment by the teacher, and that she should’ve been aware of his limits as someone with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

The math teacher, identified as Elena Cano Ramírez, was immediately transported to a nearby hospital. However, due to the gravity and extent of her injuries, she had to be transferred to a medical facility in Concepción, a larger city with better-equipped facilities.
While Cano is reportedly conscious and without immediate signs of neurological damage, her condition has been described as “critical.” Her head was fractured due to the boy repeatedly hitting her with a broomstick, which itself shattered due to the force of the impact.
Citing concerns for the safety and well-being of students and staff, the school promptly suspended classes on the day of the incident, labeling it an “unexpected emergency situation.”

In a controversial interview with local media, the boy’s mother explained that her son’s actions were a result of his diagnosis as someone with ASD and said that he had been under “extreme emotional stress” due to previous interactions with the teacher.
“A few weeks ago, my son told me he didn’t have his math notebook and wasn’t able to write in class,” she said. “The teacher told him, ‘If you don’t write, you’re useless to me,’ and that devastated him. My son cannot be spoken to like that—he understands things differently.”
