After school officials rushed to the girls and called local paramedics, the students were immediately admitted to a municipal hospital, where their parents and staff from the school joined them to further monitor.
Releasing a statement about the scary school incident, Hugo Torres, who happens to be the head of the Colombia based school, said, “There were 28 possible cases of anxiety in school students. Given the reported cases, a series of comments were unleashed on the community that, rather than helping to resolve the situation, led to confusion and an adverse environment for our work.”
Torres continued, “The students were referred to the local municipal hospital according to protocols in place. Directors and teachers accompanied the students during the evaluation process. The respective parents and/or guardians were informed of the situation at the time.”
Torres concluded, “The school is waiting for the medical diagnoses to provide further reliable information.The educational institute also respectfully asks citizens to refrain from making early judgements and diagnoses of their own.”

Elsewhere, one concerned mother complained, “I work here in a hospital kiosk and every day I see three or four children arrive after fainting. Parents, you have to move, investigate what’s happening at school, because our children cannot continue in this situation. Our children always have a good breakfast and it cannot be said that what’s happening is due to lack of food.”
