Teen's Harassment Ordeal Exposes La Salle Pachuca's Failure to Act

A 15-year-old student at La Salle University Pachuca's high school faced months of severe harassment from a male classmate. The abuse escalated to death threats, prompting protests from fellow students and a public outcry when Regina shared her story on March 8.

Regina's troubles began when her feminist views unsettled a male peer. He responded with relentless taunts, threats, and mockery—even during a school trip. The harassment grew worse when he openly threatened to kill and dismember her in front of other students.

Regina's mother reported the abuse to the school and the university's Women's Committee. Instead of immediate action, the institution proposed a 'coexistence agreement,' which her family refused. The university then advised the aggressor to file a legal injunction to block Regina's transfer, delaying her departure. Regina left the school in late May, but the university withheld her academic records until November. When she went public with her case, the online backlash intensified. Students later protested outside the campus, demanding the university stop shielding abusers.

The case has raised concerns about how La Salle Pachuca handles harassment allegations. Protests and public pressure followed Regina's decision to speak out. The university's response—including delays in releasing her records—remains under scrutiny by students and activists.
