Two violent attacks in France and Austria have shocked parents and governments, raising concerns about school safety. In France, a 14-year-old boy fatally stabbed a school assistant, while in Austria, a 21-year-old former student killed nine students and a teacher in a shooting spree. Both incidents highlight the need for solutions to prevent youth violence and address mental health issues. Calls for stricter gun laws and better support for troubled youth have emerged, but there is a lack of consensus on effective measures.
