On October 31, 2026, elDiario.es reported police investigations into TikTok accounts linked to students at a school in Lorca, IES Miguel de Cervantes in Murcia, and IES Marqués de los Vélez in El Palmar. The report also described school notices to families and guidance from a regional school-convivencia observatory.
NeoTeo previously covered school responses to curis accounts in Málaga and Vigo. The later report added developments in Murcia.
What curis accounts are, and how a post can identify someone
“Curis” is a Spanish term for social-media profiles that share memes, drawings, or videos about school life. The Policía Nacional says some posts are humorous and respectful; its warning concerns content used to target, ridicule, or humiliate students or teachers. A caricature, nickname, or reference to a class can make someone recognizable to classmates even without a photo or full name.
School responses reported in Murcia
elDiario.es reported that school leaders in Murcia sent notices to students and parents about responsibility and possible consequences. The outlet also reported that the Observatorio para la Mejora de la Convivencia Escolar de la Región de Murcia circulated guidance to schools during the week before October 31. The guidance called for preserving evidence, notifying education authorities and law enforcement, reporting posts to the platform, and supporting the affected student.
What students and families can do after a humiliating post
The Policía Nacional’s October 23 notice recommends preserving screenshots that show the post, date, and account. Keep the username and links to the account and posts as well. Avoid forwarding the material beyond what is needed to report it or provide evidence.
Next, report the post through the platform’s tools and block the people harassing the target. If a minor is affected, the police advise telling a trusted adult and the school. Affected people and their families may also report the matter to the Policía Nacional.
How police describe possible legal consequences
The Policía Nacional says consequences depend on the seriousness and circumstances of each case. Its warning describes possible criminal or civil consequences; the legal assessment concerns the specific conduct and circumstances.
