14-Year-Old LSD Supplier Leaves Encamp School After Classmate's Hospitalization

Authorities investigate after a 14-year-old girl fell severely ill from LSD supplied by a peer during school hours, prompting the supplier's departure and family complaints against the institution.

Key Points

  • A 14-year-old student gave an LSD stamp to a classmate at Encamp secondary school, causing severe illness and 8-hour hospital observation on May 11.
  • The supplier has withdrawn from the school amid a judicial probe into the drug's origin and prior distribution.
  • Victim's family sued both the supplier and school for delayed response and poor diligence.
  • Separate incident: Student injured another by throwing a fork in school canteen.

A 14-year-old student who supplied an LSD stamp to a classmate at Encamp's secondary school has withdrawn from the institution, sources close to the school confirmed. The move follows a judicial investigation launched by the Batllia after the recipient fell ill on 11 May and required nearly eight hours of observation in hospital emergency services.

The affected girl, also 14, suffered severe symptoms that initially baffled medical staff, as her impaired consciousness prevented a clear explanation. She later identified the LSD as the cause, provided by the now-departed student during school hours. Prosecutors are probing the drug's origin, whether the supplier had introduced it to the school previously, and if it reached others beforehand—details that could shift the incident from an isolated case to something broader. Authorities suspect the LSD was for her personal use.

The victim's family filed complaints not only against the supplier but also the school, citing inadequate diligence and a delayed response. Educational sources criticised officials for not immediately notifying police and summoning involved families, despite the event's apparent isolation. They attributed the measured approach to prior knowledge that the student planned to leave Andorra after the term, though public awareness of the case and complaint hastened her exit.

School leaders later circulated a letter to parents, which the community welcomed but many faulted for its timing—sent weeks after the incident and only post-media coverage. Officials have stressed caution in handling the matter due to the minors involved and ongoing sensitivity.

In a separate, unrelated episode at the same school, one student injured another by throwing a fork in the canteen during a fit of anger; sources described such incidents as highly unusual in Encamp. The judicial probe continues, with the complaining family awaiting further developments.
