Kifissia: Parents in the role of neighborhood police to protect their children

At the same time, repeated incidents of violence between minors in Kifissia in recent months, made parents go out into the streets and do patrols themselves.

A resident of Kifissia said: “I see all the time, I have seen in front of me people hitting each other if they take their cell phones. And my son was once cornered at the station and his cell phone and money were taken.”

Every Friday and Saturday when Kifisia is full of young children 15 parents of the “Kifisia Watch” group supervise the streets.

The founder of the “Kifisia Watch” initiative said: “We had a knife incident in the spring and the initiative was created and we could see that it was a growing phenomenon.”

The police statistics are revealing: Last month alone, more than 1300 minors were arrested in Attica for various criminal acts.

“We have prevented 4 incidents of beatings. The most shocking 8 minors against 1 minor. We called the police, and the worst was avoided.”

Parents are worried as they see groups of young people coming with Elektrikos to Kifissia from other neighborhoods.

“Many come for this reason to steal. See also the incident at ISAP, they stole the mobile phone with pepper spray and a crowbar in broad daylight.”

In any case, the residents of the area are calling for more intensive policing.
