Reports of violence at educational institutions have emerged in Honduras and Brazil. In Tegucigalpa, Honduras, a mother armed with a knife entered a school to confront staff regarding alleged bullying of her daughter, resulting in a physical altercation and her subsequent detention for mental health evaluation.

In Brazil, multiple incidents involving students have been documented. In Cametá, a student attacked a teacher with a hunting knife, stating the motive was personal dislike. In Feira de Santana, a 13-year-old student suffered the loss of vision in one eye following an assault with a piece of wood during a dispute, an incident linked to prior bullying. Additionally, in Belém, a 12-year-old girl sustained head injuries during a knife attack by a student, which was interrupted by a teacher.
