Students put glass in a teacher's water glass in SP; police investigate

Teacher Michele Ramos, aged 37, reported having found a glass slide in a glass of water inside the school where she works in the municipal network of São José dos Campos (SP), on Tuesday morning (30). The case is being investigated by the Civil Police as attempted bodily harm.

The episode gained repercussion after Michele went to social media, shaken, to report what had happened. During class, she asked a student to fetch water. The student would then have placed the glass in the cup and shown the action to his classmates. Other students would have witnessed it, but they did not inform the teacher and even made fun of the situation.

The room saw what was happening and whispered. Instead of telling me what had happened, what he had said, people saw it and they didn't speak and they still said: 'If I were you, I wouldn't drink that water, teacher'

The teacher stated that she had to seek medical attention and that she developed psychological problems due to what she suffers at work. She said she would try to register the episode as a work accident.

When contacted, the SSP-SP (São Paulo Public Security Secretariat) reported that the students involved were identified through the unit's security cameras, and the Guardianship Council was contacted.

The incident was registered at the Electronic Police Station as an attempted bodily harm and forwarded to the Children and Youth Police Station (DPJI) of São José dos Campos.

In a new publication made this Wednesday (2), Michele thanked the expressions of support received after the repercussion of the case and said that she awaits the authorities' position.

CNN Brasil contacted the Municipal Department of Education of São José dos Campo and the school management about the measures taken after the incident, but has not yet heard back. The space remains open.
