Bogotá authorities investigate suspected sexual violence against a four-year-old boy at Jorge Bejarano nursery school

The Secretariat for Social Integration in Bogotá activated a protection route following a suspected case of sexual violence involving a four-year-old boy who attends the Jorge Bejarano nursery school in the Ricaurte neighborhood. The child allegedly alerted his parents to an irregular incident that occurred at the school, leading to the family to seek medical attention and a formal complaint with the National Prosecutor's Office. The Secretariat for Social Integration is currently reviewing records to provide authorities with necessary evidence to clarify the circumstances of the case. While the specific details and responsible parties have been identified publicly, the child's identity remains under reserve to protect his privacy. The Institute for Colombian Family Welfare (ICBF) is monitoring the case as authorities work to determine if the incident occurred within the school facilities and to which parties are responsible. This case is part of a larger trend in Bogotá, where the Secretariat of Education received over 10,850 reports of alleged violations of children's rights in 2025.
