Teenagers' Dangerous Experiment: Police Intervention

Fortunately, no one was injured due to the reckless actions of the boys. Law enforcement conducted preventive talks with the children and issued administrative protocols against their parents, who now face fines.

Recently, during an internet monitoring session, police discovered a video in a messaging group showing four teenagers mixing household chemicals in a bottle and throwing it on the stairway, resulting in an explosion.

After documenting the incident, juvenile inspectors from the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi district police identified and located the boys.

It turned out that the 12-year-old local friends repeated an experiment they saw on social media for fun.

“These families had not previously come to the attention of law enforcement. We warned the youths about the dangers of such antics, while reminding parents of their responsibility to supervise their children. We filed protocols under Part 1 of Article 184 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, which deals with parental neglect in providing necessary living conditions and education for minors. This offense carries a fine of up to 1,700 UAH. The administrative materials have been sent to court,” commented Pavlo Bobchynskyi, head of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi district police.

Authorities urge parents to pay more attention to their children, explaining the dangers posed by household chemicals and other substances that can explode, cause burns, and lead to other injuries resulting from illegal actions.
