The Dial 100 service will now receive reports of threats of attacks on schools. Reports can be made via WhatsApp, at number (61) 99611-0100. According to the Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship, text messages, audios, photos, multimedia files, links or URLs can be sent. The whistleblower does not need to identify himself, he remains anonymous.

It is important that the whistleblower informs the target location of the threat (school, daycare, university) and suspect data, if possible. If the threat is made in a virtual environment, it is recommended to inform the social network, website, email address, username, profile URL in the case of Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and other networks, informed Agência Brasil.

The information, according to the ministry, will be forwarded to the police, Tutelary Council or Federal Police. Dial 100 receives and forwards reports of possible attacks on day care centers, schools and other educational institutions and urgently forwards them to the security forces.

The Ministry of Justice and Public Security also has a channel to receive reports of school violence. Reports about threats of attacks can be made to the Escola Segura channel. The information sent to the channel will be kept confidential and there is no identification of the complainant. In case of emergency, the advice is to call 190 or the nearest police station.
