In Mogilev, an 11-year-old boy “mined” a school on a dare
In Mogilev, an 11-year-old boy “mined” his school on a dare.
The press service of the Internal Affairs Department of the Mogilev Regional Executive Committee reported this on Telegram.
What happened
Today, an anonymous call was received on the 102 line about a bomb threat to one of the Mogilev schools.
The caller's voice was clearly a child's. The police found out that the caller was an 11-year-old student from the same school.
He lost a bet to a friend and that’s why he made such an ill-considered call, the police department said.
The police remind: a false report of danger entails criminal liability (starts at age 14). The maximum penalty is 7 years of imprisonment.
The perpetrator is also required to pay the costs of responding to the false report. If the crime is committed by a child under 14 years of age, the costs are reimbursed by the parents.
The police added that they have sufficient operational and technical capabilities to identify such violators.
