In Alcoy, Alicante, a mother and her 17-year-old son have been detained following a violent altercation where they allegedly bit off a piece of a teacher's ear. This incident erupted during a confrontation at a local school, following prior tensions between the teacher and another child of the mother. The police were called to the scene, where they found the two were restraining the teacher using a technique known as 'mataleón.'

The escalation of violence appeared to stem from an earlier issue, prompting the mother and son to visit the school to confront the teacher. Eyewitnesses report a chaotic scene, with the mother and son launching themselves at the teacher during the argument. The police arrived just in time to intervene, but not before severe injuries were inflicted on the teacher, illustrating the serious nature of the incident.

This case raises concerns about safety in educational environments and the potential for parental involvement to lead to further conflicts, particularly regarding the treatment of children within schools. The legal repercussions for the mother and son could be significant, reflecting broader societal issues regarding violence in schools and the role of parents in such situations.
