Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko said on the air of the Right to Power program that the greatest danger for a child is not social networks, but the indifference of adults - parents and teachers.

This is reported by "

“The main problem is the lack of attention to the child. Parents make a career or take care of themselves or their problems, forgetting that next to them a new personality is born, who has their own problems at school, with first love, and the like.. When parents do not notice this, children can find a certain game on the Internet, which leads at least to injuries, and even suicide, "

Anton Gerashchenko noted that the police are doing everything possible to prevent such cases, but law enforcement officers are not able to independently fight child suicides. We need a systematic work of parents, school and law enforcement system.

“First of all, I would like to draw the attention of parents, hundreds of thousands of teachers, please, take seriously the fact that children are beginning to withdraw into themselves.. Take seriously if someone in class says your child is suicidal. There are child psychologists in our schools, they should delve into each such issue, since throughout the country, the number of suicides of children goes to several hundred a year.. And there are about a thousand attempts to commit suicide, ”the deputy minister noted..

According to him, law enforcement officers exposed and terminated the activities of some death groups.. Such groups are usually created by people with an unhealthy psyche who want to assert themselves through children suffering from personal problems..
