“Teacher, my grandpa did it again…” – The teacher calls the police immediately…
Class had ended, but Mariana did not leave.
“Teacher, my grandpa did it again,” she said, almost crying.
“And today he’s coming for me. I don’t want to go.”
Lucía felt her heart race, but she tried to remain calm.
“What did he do again, sweetheart? What does he do to you?”
Mariana bit her lip without looking at the teacher.
“When my mom is asleep, he comes into my room. He says it’s a secret, that if I tell, my mom will get mad at me.”
“I’m scared, and it hurts.”
The last words hung heavy in the air.
Lucía took a deep breath, held Mariana’s little hands, and spoke firmly.
“You’re safe with me. I won’t let him come near you.”
She discreetly pulled out her phone and quietly called the police.
She explained the situation, gave the school’s address, and asked for a patrol to be sent.
They told her to keep the girl safe and not release her to anyone until her parents or the authorities arrived.
“You’re going to stay with me, okay,” said Lucía, trying to transmit calm.
“I don’t want to go with him,” Mariana repeated, on the verge of tears.
Lucía hugged her gently and placed her behind her desk, protected.
Minutes later, a strong smell announced Rogelio’s arrival.
He walked in smiling.
“Good afternoon, teacher. I came for my granddaughter,” he said, opening his arms as if nothing were out of the ordinary.
Lucía stood up and placed herself in front of the girl.
“Today dismissal is only with parents, Mr. Rogelio.
That’s the school’s protocol.”
His smile grew tense.
“Her mom asked me to come. I always pick her up. It’s fine. Let’s go, Mariana.”
The girl clutched her notebook to her chest and shook her head.
“I don’t want to go, Grandpa. I don’t want to.”
Principal Carmen appeared in the hallway, nervous, trying to defuse the situation.
“Mr. Rogelio, can we talk for a moment in the office?” she suggested.
“Talk about what?” he replied impatiently.
“I’m taking the girl, and that’s final.” Watch: [in comment] - Made with AI
