The Analusian regional government (Junta) has found five active "bullying and self-harming" protocols at the IES Benalmádena high school, but none concern 14-year-old Ángela, who took her own life on Saturday.

For the moment, while the investigators are collecting data from the girl's mobile devices, the only information that the public has is what Ángela's parents have told the police: their daughter was undergoing psychological treatment because she was being bullied.

On Monday, regional minister of education María del Carmen Castillo said that they are trying to determine whether the school environment had played a role in the minor's mental health and death.

Castillo said that they are waiting for more information from the National Police.

The regional minister extended her condolences to Ángela's family.
