"It is the system's fault." What the student's grandfather who committed the knife attack at the school in Bistrița says.

"It is the system's fault." What the grandfather of the student who committed the knife attack at school in Bistrița says The grandfather of the adolescent who attacked a teacher and a student at a school in Bistrița says that his nephew was a calm child, who never caused problems, on the contrary – he was the victim of bullying. - A criminal file for attempted murder was opened in the case of the attack from the primary school in Bistrița. A teacher was summoned, Monday morning, by a seventh-grade student, who had a knife with him. Another student, who intervened to help the teacher, was also injured. "In school, if you go to school and get the grades this year, you were awarded. And every year you were awarded," the grandfather of the aggressive student later stated to the local press. He then recounted that his nephew had been the victim of bullying. - "Starting from the third, fourth grade, there happened that some groups of children were formed where bullying happened, and this child being calmer, being in his place, learning well, did not want to join certain groups where it was more aggressive." - "So no, he is very calm. He stays with me at home. You don't hear him scream or have any problem, if he touches you, he doesn't say sorry... He had absolutely nothing. But because of the groups that were formed in school, from bullying, certain groups were formed and they put him down. They kicked him, pulled him, abused him, he was the victim of bullying." - "The parents went, they told the teachers, before the fourth grade (...) the problem was reported at school, but nowadays teachers cannot take any action against the children. When the children go home, they are quiet or tell other stories, and the police and of course do not intervene for every move." - If he told the teacher or teacher what happened... "well, they don't do anything to you, leave it, there is nothing." Probably over time the child accumulated, I can't understand. How can I tell you, I think he got it from the internet, he looks a lot on the internet. On TikTok? I don't know if he has TikTok." - "I took him to school this morning, he was not agitated at all. (...) He walks with his bicycle and equips himself with knee pads, elbow pads, helmet, a mask over his face against the air, I know, what the youth are today, what they see. I didn't see him take him to school. I took him in the morning, and he had the same backpack with which he went to school every day." - "But all this is the fault of the system that is, the schools with the education of today, because they cannot take any action. In schools, the teacher cannot do anything to you. Not even as a parent. His father tried once to tell him something and said that you can't hit me, that he calls the police. But he didn't hit him, nor did he abuse him, but a few words and I tell you what he answers back, like any child." What happened at the school in Bistrița A mathematics teacher from the "Ștefan cel Mare" Primary School in Bistrița was attacked Monday morning by a seventh-grade student, who had a knife with him. Another student, who intervened to help the teacher, was also injured. The aggressive student, aged 13, was immobilized by police. Later, he was taken to the hospital for medical investigations. After evaluation, he was transferred to the Pediatric Psychiatry Clinic in Cluj-Napoca, according to Stiri BN. The incident took place at the beginning of classes, when the mathematics teacher was teaching a sixth-grade class. The student stabbed the teacher in the head area. The teacher (aged 28) and the injured student (aged 12) were transported to the hospital. Both victims are in stable condition. From the scene, school inspector Vasile Șteopoaie recounted how the attack happened. According to him, the aggressive student was looking for another student, "whom he wanted to hurt". "Unfortunately, we have an unpleasant event. A seventh-grade student entered the school with a knife, looked for a sixth-grade student whom he wanted to hurt, knocked on the door, the teacher opened it and did not let him enter. At that moment he attacked the teacher, he applied several knife blows to the forehead area and the lateral abdominal area. The teacher cried for help, the child entered the classroom looking for the student he was targeting. He did not manage to injure him, the other colleagues jumped in, one of the students was also hit with the knife," the inspector said, quoted by TimpOnline. At the same time, witnesses quoted by TimpOnline stated that the student wore a mask and helmet of a motorcyclist. A few tens of minutes before the attack, the student announced on his TikTok account what he was going to do, wrote on the local Bistrița website. A TikTok account with the username andy_1919_14 posted a series of stories on Monday morning, in which the boy claims that he was preparing the attack for eight months. He appears in pictures wearing a mask and an airsoft helmet. Bistrițeanul writes that this account belongs to the seventh-grade student. "I am preparing this for 8 months! We will see in Valhalla! I'm doing it! They don't know how dangerous he is!" he announced in the video and stories posted. His account responded to extremist content. Contacted by HotNews, school inspector general Vasile Șteopoaie stated that the student "was not on the school records with problems, nor aggressive, nor behavioral". "I am not in a position to tell you exactly about the change in behavior, they will be checked by the school counselor. I don't know if changes in behavior have been observed. I understood that since he came he was a little more lonely, did not integrate well into the group, but I have no information that anything had changed in his behavior," said the school inspector from Bistrița. Transferred to this school in 2019 The director of the educational unit where the incident took place, Claudia Feldrihan, explained that the boy transferred to this school in 2019, from Spain. "He has not had any manifestation until now that would make us believe that he could do what he did today. The management team deeply regrets today's incident. We want to tell you that in this context we believe that this is a warning signal for all schools in the Romanian education system. We are not allowed to provoke them at the door. From this moment, we will not ask the City Hall to provide us with, I don't know exactly what they are called, but some devices through which we can detect metal, because if we could do that, we would certainly have been able to prevent it," she stated to the local press. The director explained that the student has been exemplary until now. "We talked to the child's mother, you understand what situation she was in and then. He never showed an attitude that would make us believe that he would do this gesture unwillingly," Claudia Feldrihan also stated. He looked for a student whom he called "the Indian" In the statement given to the local press from Bistrița, school inspector general Vasile Șteopoaie insisted that the attacking student was looking for another student, one year younger, who "was of another religion". In the dialogue with HotNews, Șteopoaie explained that this student was called "the Indian": "That child never said he was ever threatened. He didn't know he was in someone's custody." Regarding the parents, the inspector says that they were called to school, and the hearing of the seventh-grade boy took place in the presence of his mother, "who was devastated".
