Cyberbullying can be reported to the Croatian Police through the RED BUTTON app
Only 11% of young people sought help after being exposed to disturbing content on the Internet
The Internet is a great invention that connects the world, but unfortunately, it also allows a variety of inappropriate content and there are many of those prone to insulting and intimidating others. According to the survey on the safety of children and youth conducted in Croatia as part of the international project EU KIDS, more than half of the children from 9 to 17 years old received a violating or inappropriate message. Data refer to 2017 when the survey was carried out on a sample of 1017 children, their parents, and guardians.
The results of the research showed that more than 1/10 children aged 9 to 17 years were intimidated on the Internet during that year. It also found that the third of young people aged 9 to 17 years, communicates online with a person who they don't know personally and that every fourth teenager aged 15 to 17 years, met with the person he/she met online. The worrying fact is that only 11% of young people have sought help after they have been exposed to disturbing content.
All this information we found on the Internet, as well as who to contact for those who have been exposed to insults and intimidation over the Internet. The app that can help is called the Red Button. It is the application by the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Croatia (Police). Through this application, all those who have experienced an inappropriate situation on the Internet can report it to the police. Various other forms of exploitation or abuse of children may also apply. The app is available on the https://redbutton.mup.hr/ link. The instructions for using the application also stated that in urgent cases police should be contacted through emergency contact number 192. /Lea Harča, 7b; illustrations downloaded from the Internet/

The construction of the sports hall starts next summer?
We discussed construction plans of the sports hall with Franjo Poljak, the mayor of Sveti Petar Orehovec municipality
This week we spotted construction machines in the school park and near the playground and found out that the arrival of the machines is related to the school sports hall whose construction we have been waiting for years. That is why we visited Franjo Poljak, a mayor of Sveti Petar Orehovec municipality, and asked him what is going on around the school, and can we and when expect the sports hall.
Our school was built in 1964 and PE classes took place in the hallway of 35m2. The procedure for the construction of the sports hall was launched in 2004, but there was always something that got in the way and the sports hall procedure never started.
In 2013 our film group made a short documentary about the problem of the sports hall that is available at the link Tjelesni u betonskom hodniku već 49 godina
Can you explain to us what are construction machines doing next to our school these days and does it have to do with the construction of the sports hall?
The machines that arrived this week have the task of preparing the terrain for the future sports hall. Technically speaking, they are working on the protection of the construction pit. Namely, the land next to the school where the hall will be built is on the slope and it is necessary to stabilize it, so the soil won’t slide. This intervention is performed by Geobim from Beletinec and should be completed within two months.
Does this mean that in the spring we can expect the beginning of a sports hall construction?
We are currently working on securing the financial resources needed for building and furnishing the hall. We arrange for this to be a joint project of the municipality and the county. Namely, the county has developed a project to help the construction of the halls in several places in the area of Koprivnica-Križevci county. According to the agreements reached so far, the county would finance part of the costs that are within the pedagogical standard.
Could you explain that further?
The size of the hall according to the pedagogical standard depends on the number of pupils in the school. According to the existing pedagogical standard, Sveti Petar Orehovec Elementary School is entitled to a two-room hall. However, we think we need the three-room hall to be able to use it for various sports and cultural events in the municipality, not just for the PE classes for students of the school.
What surface of such a hall would be and how much would the price of its construction be?
The three-room hall that we would like to build should be 2300 m2, and according to the project, cost price of the hall would be about 20.5 mil KN.
How will the municipality ensure its share of the necessary resources for the construction of the hall?
We plan to raise a loan in one of the commercial banks. Our plan is to do that during the winter so that we can start with construction next year in the summer. If everything will proceed as planned, the sports hall could be completed by the end of 2021.
Will the hall be working by an already prepared draw from 2012?
Yes, we already have the project, and only minor changes were needed due to some legal regulations that were enforced in the meantime. /Paola Tukša, 8. A; Photo: S. L./
