Lola Indigo has reported on social networks the suicide of Ángela, a 14-year-old minor living in Benalmádena (Málaga), allegedly a victim of bullying for a year. According to La Vanguardia, the young woman had been harassed for her “thinness and shyness” and was undergoing psychological treatment.
The IES Benalmádena has ruled out the existence of bullying, stating that it was not aware of any complaint, although it has not excluded the possibility of cyberbullying. For its part, the minor’s family has announced that it will take action against the center for not acting.
Some artists, like CURRO, have spread the news on social networks, while Lola Indigo has published a message in her stories demanding that identification be required to create accounts on social networks. The harassers “apparently made fake accounts to insult and denigrate the girl,” the artist shared on Instagram.
Mimi Doblas, visibly outraged, has asked that social networks be regulated to prevent these cases from being repeated: “Let’s see when, once and for all, identification is required to create an account on a social network and we stop having this digital hell where anything goes,” she expressed. “How many more girls and boys are going to have to die for this to change? Enough is enough,” the artist denounced.
Identification on the networks is the order of the day, since Pedro Sánchez has recently announced the Government’s intention to prohibit access to social networks for minors under 16 years of age to combat the “law of the jungle” of misinformation, hoaxes and hatred that circulate on platforms such as Telegram or X, without those who control these services preventing it.
