“Of course what can be done from the government, that safe backpack, that surveillance in schools, that orientation in campaigns through the means to say no to violence, yes to peace, all this helps,” he said after expressing solidarity with the families of the victims.
López Obrador also noted that childhood requires family care and guidance to avoid violent events such as this Friday, January 10. 
“All of this has to lead us to continue to work for the integration of families, for the strengthening of moral, cultural and spiritual values. We have to take care of the children, the young people, not turn our backs on them, we need a lot of attention inside our families with the children,” he said.
Meanwhile, Gutiérrez Muller asked Mexican families not to take “that their children are ‘unable’ to do such or such, as he said that there are “many influences” and curiosities of children and young people. 
“Security begins at home. For example, #mochilasegura not until school, but from home. #noArmas #NoViolencia #Paz please,” he posted from his official Facebook page. 

He asked to supervise, dialogue and understand young people at home.

The Network for the Rights of Children in Mexico (Redim) rejected the operation “safe backpack” as a measure of prevention, as it considered it “an act of institutional discrimination that has proven to be a failure to address and prevent cases of violence in the school space, rooted in complex problems such as community violence, the breakdown of the social fabric, impunity and insecurity”.
It even recalled that implementing this operation “would be a violation of human rights”, as it would be against recommendation No. 21/2015 of the National Commission on Human Rights (CNDH), which considers that the right to privacy, legal certainty, non-discrimination and the best interests of children was violated.
