In social networks, versions circulated in which it was ensured that Jorge disappeared after going to the educational campus for a joke made by his classmates about an exam that would be face-to-face.

However, Facebook user Maribel Alegría, who identified herself as Jorge’s half-sister, clarified that the joke did occur but it happened days before his disappearance.

According to Maribel’s account, on October 23 Jorge’s classmates deceived him by telling him that he had to take an exam at Prepa 5 and not virtually like the previous ones.

Being a student with very limited resources, Jorge does not have internet at home or data on his cell phone, so he could not confirm the veracity of the news and went to the campus accompanied by his mother.

“He was accompanied by our mother and they returned home for Jorge to take the exam online, despite the loss of time and sales they could have achieved since they are engaged in commerce,” wrote his sister.

According to Maribel, upon realizing that it had been a joke, Jorge expressed his discomfort towards the group and all weekend his colleagues “continued to bother him and make fun of everything that had happened.”

Days later, on Monday, October 26, Jorge left his house around 1 in the afternoon and said that he would return at 5, but that did not happen.

Maribel points out that the minor left his cell phone at home because his classmates did not stop bothering him.

In a second publication, Jorge’s half-sister details that this Thursday, his mother and other parents will meet with directors of Prepa 5 to make a decision about the academic future of the people involved in the joke.

“The only thing we want is for Jorge to return safe and sound (…) everything I previously published was at the request of my mother who does not have a Facebook account and who told me that the UNAM from the moment she found out about the situation He always showed his full support, even giving him the option to change the campus to avoid bullying, ”wrote Maribel.

Finally, he thanked the people who have expressed their support and said that they will keep the faith that Jorge appears soon.
