### Primary Article: Teacher Detained for Unlawful Detainment and Harassment of Student
A teacher from the “Estación Coahuila” branch of the Colegio de Bachilleres in Mexicali has been arrested by authorities after being accused of unlawfully detaining and attempting to sexually assault one of her students.
According to official reports, on September 8, 2024, at around 1:00 AM, the accused, identified as Bertha Alicia “N,” arrived at the victim’s residence in the Coahuila ejido of the Mexicali Valley. She was driving an orange 2016 Chevrolet Trax. Threateningly, she coerced her 16-year-old student to leave her home.
Frightened, the young student complied and got into the vehicle as a passenger. Bertha Alicia then took the student’s cellphone, rendering her unable to communicate, and drove to a hotel located in the Zona Río area of Tijuana. Once there, the teacher booked a room and, once inside, attempted to sexually assault the minor, who resisted.
The student was held against her will for a total of 14 hours. It wasn’t until 3:15 PM on the same day that law enforcement, acting on a filed complaint, located and rescued the student. The teacher was arrested shortly thereafter.
On September 11, 2024, a formal accusation was made during the arraignment hearing, charging Bertha Alicia with unlawful deprivation of liberty, sexual abuse, and harassment. She invoked her right to a 144-hour period to determine her legal status, with the next hearing set for September 16, 2024. Meanwhile, a justified preventive detention measure has been imposed on her.

In light of the recent allegations against Bertha Alicia “N,” further troubling reports surrounding teacher conduct have surfaced in the region.
In another alarming case, a school teacher in Tijuana was taken into custody following an incident where he allegedly fired a weapon at his former partner at Rancho Las Flores on September 12, 2024. The involvement of educators in such critical and hazardous situations raises significant concerns about the safety and ethical standards within schools.
Meanwhile, debates over educational reforms and the safety of students are intensifying. Other reports have pointed to delayed judicial processes in environmental crimes, highlighting systemic delays and inefficiencies that also affect cases of misconduct.
The educational community and authorities are now under increasing pressure to implement rigorous background checks and monitoring systems to ensure student safety and uphold the integrity of educational institutions.
