The Minsk city traffic police department should be “dealt with severely” for the death of a nine-year-old boy in a traffic accident earlier in the week, Aliaksandr Lukashenka said on Thursday during a government conference on police reform.
Reports have it that the child jumped from behind a parked car right into the path of the Porsche Cayenne near a school on Panchanki Street on Tuesday evening.
A parents' meeting was held in the school at that time.
“The headmaster comes out and says, ‘We've complained to the traffic police, demanded and asked, but they took no measures,’” Lukashenka said. “This means that the traffic police should be dealt with severely. I hear complaints too often, especially about the traffic police in the capital city.”
Lukashenka said that the city authorities were also to blame for the incident because they had failed to build a fence around the new school.
The school's staff should not try to shift all blame on the traffic police, he said. “We, parents, gave you children, who came to the school, and you're responsible for them with your head,” he said. “Our teacher today comes [to the school] like to a machine-tool, stays there for four hours and leaves. Children don't matter. They [teachers] haven't visited families for a long time.”
And the parents are also responsible for the accident because they parked their cars all over the school grounds, Lukashenka said.
“That's why each should mind his own business,” he concluded. “This is the most important thing today.”
