Woman injured while chasing egg-throwing Halloween rioters
Halloween, a festival that so many associate with fun and celebration, is always full of unpleasant incidents. In Stuttgart, a 55-year-old woman learned a hard lesson when she chased down young people who had thrown eggs at a house. These brave pranks didn't end as harmlessly for her as one would hope.
The scene played out like this: four or five young people, probably looking for a brave challenge, had decided to throw eggs at a house. The woman didn't let that go. She followed the suspects to their car, clearly determined to confront them.
Almost got under the wheels
But when the car drove off, the woman found herself in a dangerous situation. To avoid being run over, she quickly pushed herself off the side mirror. Unfortunately, this ended in a fall in which the 55-year-old suffered minor injuries. Paramedics were quickly on the scene and took her to the hospital for treatment, which thank God did not have any serious consequences. ZVW reports about it.
Such an event raises the question of how often you, as a parent or responsible person, can make it clear to young people that seemingly harmless pranks can also have serious consequences. Education about legal and financial aspects is absolutely necessary. A look at the Federal Criminal Police Office shows: Damaging property is not a trivial offense. Everyone should be made aware of the dangers associated with such actions.
Appeal to parents
Especially on days like Halloween, vandalism occurs again and again, especially among young people Krone reports. Interior Minister Gerhard Karner has made this clear and appeals to parents to talk to their children and make it clear to them the potential consequences of their behavior. After all, it's about more than just fun, it can quickly lead to fines or even prison sentences.
The police will also have an increased presence on such evenings and are well prepared to prevent incidents. It is also recommended that homeowners secure their valuable and sensitive items outdoors or put them away completely.
A little common sense and consideration can go a long way. And maybe young people should use the good old candy collecting method this Halloween instead of throwing eggs around!
