Parental violence related to school performance is a worrying and often underestimated phenomenon that can have serious, even fatal, consequences on children's well-being and lives. This article presents three clinical cases illustrating the tragic impact of academic failure in a context of family violence.The first case involves an 11-year-old boy who died as a result of severe head trauma inflicted by his father after poor academic results. The second case describes a 15-year-old adolescent who suffered physical abuse, initially consulted for a throat infection but showing signs of previous violence. The third case reports the suicide of a 12-year-old child following repeated abuse after poor school performance.Analysis and discussion: The analysis of these cases highlights the correlation between academic failure and parental violence. The clinical implications underline the importance of early recognition of signs of abuse and appropriate intervention. This study also draws on literature data, including international studies, to compare and deepen the understanding of this phenomenon. Conclusion: The cases presented demonstrate the need to raise awareness among healthcare professionals and society as a whole about the consequences of excessive parental pressure on children. Preventive and educational actions must be strengthened to reduce the incidence of violence and protect the mental and physical health of children.
