A climate of tension prevails in the high school section of the Latin University of America (UNLA) in Morelia, Michoacán, after a father entered the campus to issue death threats—while brandishing a weapon—to a group of students. The incident, sparked by an alleged case of unaddressed bullying, prompted the immediate intervention of police and investigative authorities. (Narco-trafficking News)
The events were captured on video, which quickly went viral on social media. In the footage, the man is seen barging into a classroom to directly confront a teenager whom he identified as his son’s aggressor. Under the gaze of students and teachers, the individual issued a lethal warning:
“If anything happens to my son, you’re all f*cked. If you even look at him, I’ll kill you. This goes for everyone—got it?” he declared before being confronted by school staff.
According to accounts from those involved, the father took this desperate and violent step after claiming that his son has been the victim of constant harassment by his classmates. The man maintains that, despite having formally reported the harassment to UNLA authorities, the institution failed to take effective measures to stop the bullying, thereby allowing the situation to escalate.
However, the university itself—seeking to absolve itself of responsibility regarding its failure to address the attacks against the young man by his peers—is now attempting to “wash its hands” of the matter. They are doing so by making the absurd argument that the victimized student is a drug addict, an alcoholic, and a troublemaker. Honestly, who would mess with a “problem kid”? If he were truly as the university authorities claim, he wouldn’t be the one getting bullied.
University officials also issued statements claiming that the father was not actually armed, presumably to avoid a major scandal. However, the accounts provided by the students stand in stark contrast to the narrative the campus director has instructed his staff to disseminate. After all, if there wasn’t a genuine threat, why did so many police cruisers descend upon UNLA in response to a report of an armed man on campus? Following the altercation, the school administration notified the Morelia Police, whose officers arrived to secure the area and ensure the safety of the student body. Additionally, the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) reported that it has opened an official investigation *ex officio*, given that the threats were directed at minors and were publicly disseminated.
The educational institution is currently under scrutiny—both for the vulnerability of its access protocols, which allowed the father to enter the classroom, and for its alleged failure to address the bullying complaints that sparked the conflict. The UNLA is expected to issue an official statement in the coming hours regarding the administrative and legal actions it intends to take in response to this matter.
