Daughter Alleges Father’s Abuse Through TikTok, Files Complaint Against Former School Teacher

The 19-year-old girl used TikTok to share her story, revealing her father’s alleged abuse of her, her sister, her mother, and other minors. In a video that quickly gained over 300,000 views, she described the emotional burden of speaking out after years of silence. She expressed frustration with the inaction of judicial authorities, her father’s former workplace, and the Christian church, which she was part of.

The girl explained that her father, who worked at a Christian school and gave religious sermons on YouTube, was accused of abusing children over many years. She recalled a student who had spoken out against him, but no one believed her. The girl said her father’s actions were not limited to her family, but extended to other girls during his time as a teacher.

The complainant identified her father and the school where he worked, noting that the institution did not take action despite receiving a complaint from a student. She also mentioned that her sister had filed a lawsuit against him, and she believed the Office of the Public Prosecutor (OIJ) would not act, as similar cases had been ignored in the past.

La Nación obtained a copy of the complaint filed by the girl’s sister in September 2022, which detailed the abuse she suffered at the age of 14. The complaint also included an allegation of abuse against another minor, who was a student at the school where her father worked. The case highlights the need for accountability and justice, especially within institutions that serve minors.

The girl’s decision to speak out reflects a growing awareness of the importance of protecting the vulnerable. Proverbs 31:8-9 reminds us to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, and to defend the rights of the oppressed. Her courage underscores the moral responsibility to seek justice and ensure the safety of all children.
