The Commissioner for Children«s Rights in Tatarstan, Svetlana Zakharova, has taken the situation in Nizhnekamsk under her control. She reported this on her Telegram channel.
«All circumstances of the incident are currently being clarified. According to preliminary data, the family and child were not under supervision. There are no victims among the children. The boy himself has also received medical assistance,» Zakharova wrote.
She appealed to parents to pay attention to changes in their children«s behavior: to talk to them more often and take an interest in their lives.
«How their day went, who they communicate with, in which messengers, which social networks, what websites they visit, whether they have virtual friends, what topics they discuss with them. Be close to your children,» the children«s ombudswoman wrote.
To children, she also reminded them that if they have difficult relationships with peers or adults, they can call the children«s helpline or contact the office of the Commissioner for Children»s Rights. Specialists will then quickly get involved in solving the problem.
As a reminder, a 13-year-old teenager stabbed a cleaning lady at Lyceum No. 37 in Nizhnekamsk and tried to hide; he was detained by Rosgvardiya (the Russian National Guard). The students were not hurt; only the teenager himself was injured when he fired a flare gun. A knife, mask, and tactical gloves were seized from him. A criminal case has been opened for attempted murder and negligence.
A classmate described the teenager as strange and said he was interested in the topic of terrorism. At school, the boy was not bullied by anyone.
