# The Kim Case: FGE Findings vs. International Clinic’s Observations
Two weeks ago, Dulce, a mother from Mexicali, publicly accused a preschool of sexually assaulting her young daughter, Kim. This serious allegation has stirred significant public and media attention. Recently, the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) made a statement during Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s weekly conference. Rafael Orozco, the central prosecutor, declared, “The report shows no injuries indicative of sexual assault.”
Despite this, suspicion of sexual abuse emerged when Kim was initially examined on September 9, 2024, at an International Clinic recommended by the School Graciano Viniegra. The clinic had a $60 million contract with the state for school insurance.
On the day Dulce picked Kim up from school, she noticed her daughter was in pain. A physician at the International Clinic examined Kim and prescribed her “Naproxen/Paracetamol Suspension, 5ml every 8 hours for 3-5 days, after meals,” and advised “one day of rest.” The doctor diagnosed “severe abdominal or genital pain” and “possible transvaginal bleeding,” advising them to “go to the emergency room.”
Following this diagnosis, Dulce filed a complaint with the FGE and started a social media campaign to raise awareness about her daughter’s alleged abuse. She shared videos and audio recordings of Kim in pain, pointing fingers at a suspect named Eliseo, a teacher and administrative staff at the preschool. The case quickly gained widespread media coverage, sparking a heated public debate.
Confronted with the prosecutor Orozco’s revelation that no injuries were found to suggest sexual assault, the focus has shifted back to the clinic’s diagnosis. This isn’t the first time International Clinic has been involved in controversy. In November 2023, the clinic faced a medical negligence accusation when Martín Damián, a primary school student, died from a cranial injury. The clinic sent him home with Naproxen/Paracetamol, failing to identify his critical state, which later resulted in a fatal outcome.
The clinic is owned by David Cervantes Torres, whose son, David Ramsés Cervantes Aguilar, serves as the state’s official secretary and is a close ally of the governor.
## NO EVIDENCE OF SEXUAL ASSAULT: FGE
Over two weeks have passed since allegations of sexual abuse surfaced involving Kim, a 3-year-old girl who had only been at the Graciano Viniegra School for a week. Media pressure has led to speculation and misinformation due to the FGE’s closed stance. Social media campaigns by Kim’s mother have amplified public concern.
After initially accusing a staff worker named Eliseo, inconsistencies began to emerge in the testimonies. On September 25, Prosecutor Rafael Orozco addressed the media, stating that the FGE found no physical evidence to suggest that Kim had been sexually assaulted. Although sexual abuse without physical injuries is common, the FGE decided to proceed cautiously.
“In the report, there are no injuries proving sexual assault. Yet, we must approach this carefully. Around 80% of sexual abuse cases don’t leave physical injuries; it’s classified as sexual abuse and not necessarily rape,” stated Orozco. The International Clinic’s diagnosis aligned with the FGE examiner’s findings. However, confusion persists regarding the clinic’s procedures for reporting suspected sexual abuse cases.
Adrián Medina Amarillas, the Secretary of Health, admitted that there are no formal protocols in place for clinics to report such cases, leaving the decision at the discretion of attending physicians.
### REPEATED CONTROVERSIES WITH INTERNATIONAL CLINIC
International Clinic, established in 1993 and owned by Maria Dozal Granados, Martha Cecilia Díaz Gallego, and David Cervantes Torres, has repeatedly found itself in controversial situations.
The clinic is part of a direct contract awarded by the Ministry of Education to La Latinoamericana Seguros, committing to provide medical services to over 566,000 elementary students in the state. This insurance arrangement favors International Clinic in Mexicali, despite several controversies, such as the aforementioned case of Martín Damián and incidents related to negligent medical procedures.
The Ministry’s contract involves a protocol where parents must contact a service center for guidance on taking injured students to designated clinics. This policy intended to ensure prompt medical attention has, however, shown limitations and resulted in tragic outcomes.
The handling of Kim’s case has reignited the debate on the effectiveness and accountability of the International Clinic and the insurance protocols in place for student protection. Despite Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila expressing the possibility of reassessing the service contract with the clinic, issues persist, revealing systemic problems in the healthcare service network for school students.
## Additional News on the Kim Case
After the announcement from FGE, local community groups and activists have demanded more substantial evidence and transparency in investigative proceedings. Furthermore, the International Clinic faces potential scrutiny, not only in Mexicali but across Baja California, for its repeated controversial handling of emergency medical cases in schools. Calls for reform in both healthcare and legal response protocols in cases involving children’s safety are growing louder.
In a parallel development, several local politicians are pressing for an in-depth review of all contracts involving education and health services to eliminate conflicts of interest and improve care standards.
### Media and Public Reactions
The Kim case has captured the attention of both national and international media, leading to widespread public discourse on child safety in educational institutions. Amidst mixed public opinions, many are calling for justice and systemic changes to prevent such incidents in the future.
The ongoing media coverage continues to highlight the urgent need for comprehensive policies and strict monitoring to safeguard children and hold accountable the institutions responsible for their care.
