The Secretary of Education of Ceará confirmed that students involved in the incident where a 16-year-old boy was forced to eat seven pieces of cake have been transferred from their school. The victim suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare condition that causes insatiable hunger and developmental challenges. This attention came after concerns for the boy's health and well-being were raised due to the bullying incident.

The incident, which took place at a public school in the Dom Lustosa neighborhood on February 26, received significant attention as the young boy was not only coerced into eating excessive amounts of cake but was also filmed during the ordeal. The Secretary of Education's statement also highlighted that the families of the involved students requested the transfers and were accommodated. This indicates a recognition of the seriousness of the situation and a need for supportive measures.

Furthermore, the government has assured that the victim and his family have received psychological support and counseling in the aftermath of the incident. The steps taken reflect an effort not only to address the consequences of the bullying but also to ensure the ongoing support of the victim as he copes with both the psychological impact of the event and the challenges posed by his medical condition.
