Parents claim almost 500 thousand euros for the death of their son after goalpost fall in Leiria

Correio da Manhã10 September 2026 at 09:57

The parents of a child who died in 2021 following the fall of a goalpost during a physical education class in Leiria are claiming compensation of almost 500,000 euros for the death of their son.

The incident occurred during physical education practice, when the goalpost toppled and caused the child's death. This tragic event took place at a school in the district of Leiria.

In 2025, the teacher responsible for the class was tried and convicted to one year and two months in prison, with a suspended sentence, for negligent homicide. The sentence reflects the responsibility attributed to the teacher for the accident that resulted in the student's death.

The compensation action brought by the parents aims to obtain substantial financial compensation, around 500,000 euros, as a form of civil liability for the loss of their son.

Pay 10.5 euros and leave trash at Pico Ruivo

A Madeiran tour guide harshly criticizes the management of the Pico Ruivo trail, where visitors pay 10.5 euros but leave trash at the site. The author questions the transparency in the application of IFCN's revenue, points out failures in the trail recovery (which they guarantee is incomplete), problems in the scheduling system (which allows uncontrolled entries), and million-dollar contracts with companies like Montanhas Assertivas and Charon without visible results. They also criticize the lack of disclosure of the maximum visitor limits and total revenue collected, as well as the incompetence attributed to IFCN's leadership.
