Minors threaten student with knife on school bus in Parga

A disturbing incident on a school bus in Parga has brought the growing issue of juvenile delinquency to the forefront. Two students, one Greek and one foreign national, allegedly threatened a classmate with a knife, demanding her mobile phone. This brazen act, occurring in a space meant to be safe for young learners, has sent ripples of concern through the local community.

Fortunately, the targeted student displayed remarkable composure, refusing to yield to the threats. She managed to pass her phone to a friend for safekeeping and promptly exited the bus, averting a potentially worse outcome. The swift response from the Parga Police Station officers led to the apprehension of the two alleged perpetrators later that day.

Authorities seized an 8-centimeter blade knife from one of the minors, which was reportedly used in the threat. The case has escalated beyond the immediate threat, with the parents of the accused also being arrested on charges of neglecting their supervisory duties. This case serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing parents and educators in addressing the rise of aggressive behavior among minors.
