What happened to Juan David
Juan David played in front of his house with other children. In the Panorama district of Yumbo, everything went on with the normality and excitement typical of children. But according to some witnesses, these minors “attacked him several times with a stick on the head, seriously injuring his skull,” the aforementioned media stated.
The child was taken from Yumbo, in Valle del Cauca, to a health center in the city of Cali. He was in critical condition and underwent emergency surgery, Radio Caracol said.
In a hospital in Cali, El Colombiano reported, “after ten long days of debating between life and death in intensive care,” Juan David died.
María Eugenia told Caracol Noticias, according to El Espectador, the impression that she had found him at home in poor conditions: “When I arrived, I found my child beaten up and I asked him what happened to him and all he could tell me was that some children had hit him on the head with sticks. He started vomiting and screaming. He said his head hurt a lot and there was green fluid coming out of his nose and blood coming out of his mouth.”
My child took many blows to the head, they operated on him, but he was brain dead.

María Eugenia noted with pain: “As a mother, they took away my heart and it can never be restored.”
Juan David, according to his mother, was “happy, sensible and never had problems at school; he probably suffered from bullying at school. Suddenly he didn’t say anything out of fear,” María Eugenia repeated.
There have been no reports of bullying at the school where the victim studied, police lieutenant Adriana Corrales said.
