No child should ever lose their life inside a classroom, nor grow up believing violence is their only option.
This tragedy calls us to strengthen child protection systems, support families and schools, and ensure accountability rooted in children’s rights—not punishment. Lowering the age of criminal responsibility is not the solution. What children need are safe spaces, guidance, and communities that listen before crises emerge.
Together, let us commit to building a nation where every child is safe, heard, respected, and given every opportunity to thrive.
