As a result, the school administration intervened, and participants were required to provide written explanations, while the deputy principal held preventive discussions.
“Good day, dear parents! Please talk to your children about the consequences of dangerous games. Today during recess, children were playing a game called ‘TCK’ and were performing a neck grab with their hands, which nearly resulted in a broken nose. Explanations have been written, and a conversation with the deputy principal for educational work has taken place!” - the message states.
The incident has once again raised concerns about hazardous trends among children. Many users commented on how childhood games have evolved over time. Some reminisced about their childhood pastimes, such as playing cowboys and Cossacks, while others criticized modern influences that encourage risky behavior.
The Kyiv police were asked to confirm whether such an incident had been officially recorded. Law enforcement officials stated that, although they had seen discussions about this online, no official complaints had been received, and the origin of the circulated messages remains unclear.
To prevent similar situations, the juvenile department of the capital's police conducts ongoing monitoring of social media and implements preventive measures in schools. Their activities include lectures, interactive training, and collaboration with educators to create a safe learning environment. A dedicated officer is responsible for monitoring online activity related to minors, ensuring timely intervention in case of any alarming trends.
