School staff member Haydée Moya Moya has been discharged from the hospital and is back home after surviving a stabbing attack at the Instituto Obispo Silva Lezaeta in Calama.
Moya Moya had been hospitalized since the incident occurred last Friday, March 27. During the attack, a student from the same school stabbed the woman and killed school inspector María Victoria Reyes.
Moya Moya's family confirmed the news, noting that she faces a difficult rehabilitation process. Her son, Calama councilman Inti Alavia, shared the update via social media.
The Road to Recovery
“As a family, we want to share, with deep emotion, that our mother, Haydée Moya Moya, has been discharged and is home with us today,” Alavia reported.
The councilman noted that the official must now address both her physical injuries and the psychological trauma resulting from the tragedy. “A new stage begins: her recovery and rehabilitation, given the complexity of the multiple physical and psychological wounds caused by what she endured,” he added.
The attack at the school left four people injured, including students, in addition to the death of inspector Reyes. The official's family stated they will continue to demand justice for the incident.
Alavia emphasized a commitment to working toward preventing further violence in schools. “We will continue to seek justice and work so that a similar tragedy never happens again to any educator,” the statement concluded.
