A new form of cyberbullying, known as ‘los curis’, has emerged among primary school students. This behavior involves the ridicule of teachers and peers, which has led to calls for investigations into the practice as a potential criminal offense. Some suggest that parents could face legal sanctions as the primary responsible parties for their children’s education.

This digital harassment, often involving manipulated photographs, unauthorized video sharing, or anonymous social media accounts on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, frequently spills over into physical classrooms. Such actions result in social isolation, tension among peers, and impacts on student mental health. 

In response to these challenges, frameworks such as Chile’s National Policy for Educational Coexistence 2024–2030 and Law No. 21,809 have been identified to provide guidance on preventing harassment through formative measures and protection protocols. Experts emphasize the necessity of coordinated responses between schools and families to protect students' rights and privacy.
