The problematic child from Zagreb dropped out of the third school, his parents took him to Italy
The ten-year-old student, whose work at a Zagreb elementary school was blocked due to his problematic behavior, was supposed to undergo an expert evaluation of the psychological profile in a public institution this week, but his parents took him abroad after they also expelled him from his third school in Croatia. occur local media.
According to the media, the parents took the violent child to Italy, without notifying the social services at all.
"We cannot answer the question of where the family is now, because in accordance with the provisions of the Family Law, the public is excluded from the proceedings that are conducted to protect the interests of the child's well-being," said Alen Minic, head of the Croatian Institute for Social work.
Because of the boy's behavior, the students of the fourth grade did not go to classes for almost two weeks, while the entire class was expelled from his former school.
Parents can move away with the child if they have not lost custody and if no criminal proceedings are being conducted against them, experts explain.
"Parents can travel freely and change their place of residence, but they must respect all the decisions made by the court and the Social Affairs Office, otherwise they will commit a crime," says lawyer Mario Medak.
The parents and their lawyers were surprised by the unexpected turn of events. That the boy was expelled from the school - no one informed them.
"Unfortunately, it turned out that the problem solved itself, so the boy will no longer go to this school, and the state authorities did not do anything within their powers," said Claudio Churin, the lawyer of the group of parents.
"If the child now receives appropriate professional help in the place where he lives, everything should be fine with him, but the question is what kind of support can be provided to those children who are displaced and to other schools. that they don't come to classes - how can they now return their mental status to normal functioning?" believes Bozidar Niksa Tarabic, head of the Office for Psychological Support at the University of Zagreb.
At the same time, the City made a decision on the appropriate form of schooling for the boy. They did not disclose the details, but as RTL has learned, the 10-year-old boy was supposed to go to a special class according to the new decision.
