In Tampico, Tamaulipas, authorities placed a two-month-old baby and a four-year-old child into the protection of DIF Tampico following the alleged murder of their mother, Ivone “N”. The primary suspect, the victim's ex-husband Luis “N”, was detained after allegedly strangling the woman during an argument. 

Subsequent reports indicate continued interventions by Mexican authorities regarding the welfare of minors in the region. In Tampico, a 17-year-old girl and her three-year-old daughter were moved to a shelter after being found on a public road; social workers determined their residence lacked necessary safety and hygiene conditions. Other reported incidents involving minors occurred in Ecatepec and Tlalnepantla, involving missing children and domestic disputes.
