“It was an ambush. A friend called her to meet up, like many other times. My daughter went to the place and, supposedly, another girl was going to talk to her to sort out some matters. Then, They told her that they weren’t going to hit her, but that they were going to talk.“But that wasn’t the case, it was an ambush to hit her,” said the victim’s mother.
“My daughter came home very nervous, crying. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that a girl had hit her, pulled her hair and she had defended herself, but she didn’t tell me anything else. I had a very big anxiety attack and I didn’t know how to verbalize much more.He knew the alleged attacker by sight, from dancing, she was not part of his circle of friends, just like the one who recorded the video. The boy who appears in the video and the woman who spread the video were indeed part of her usual environment.“, Maria added.

Susana, as the morning show has dubbed the mother of the attacker in order to preserve her privacy, said: “MarÃa, at the time I, through the police, told them to convey our apologies to you. I, in your case, would have done the same.“I asked them to give you my phone number so I could call you. I’ve always wanted us to speed this up.”
“I want you to understand me too because I do not justify what my daughter has doneWhat my daughter did was very wrong. I also want to say that it was a one-off incident, it is not the way she usually acts. When she saw herself in the video she put her hands on her head“I didn’t even know Ana had Asperger’s. She cried her eyes out, she regretted it and she had a terrible time. We are having a really bad time, just like you,” added Susana.

I do not want aggressions. Not that your daughter does it again, but that it is not done to her either. What I am doing is not to ridicule you. I just want to give voice to that there are no more attacks, harassment or bullying and that, please, the law of the minor be regulated“That’s all I’m trying to ask for.”

Of course, on my daughter’s part this will not happen again. I want to join you because I am totally against this.. Because of this we are living a horrible situation, my daughter cannot go to school, they have put her in WhatsApp groups with photos of the door of my house, they want to kill us all. I know that what she has done is wrong, she knows it and accepts it, but she also I want people to think they are marking a thirteen year old girl.“This is very difficult. All I ask is that they stop harassing us, especially my daughter, please, stop now,” Susana said, in tears.
