Reaction Cyprus receives complaints of bullying of children with parents who are positive for the coronavirus in schools.
According to a Facebook post, he has already received five complaints from parents, who report that their children are being bullied at school because the parent himself was found to be positive for covid19.
Reaction reports that:
"The COVID19 pandemic is not just a matter of health; it now affects our economy, society and our daily lives. This morning, another parent informed us that his child is being bullied at school (5 complaints we have been receiving since September) due to the fact that the parent himself was found to be positive for covid19.
Restricting the child, as close contact is logical and should be done. But what happens when this child returns to school? What psychological support is provided by the competent bodies? What is the plan of the Ministry of Education to manage such incidents and the possible Bullying that children will suffer? I am referring to all levels of education from kindergarten to high school.
But a child of kindergarten - elementary school, can not manage the psychological pressure that he may experience from the "marginalization" at school? Do we have the infrastructure to manage it?
-At the same time, since a child, either as a close contact or as a confirmed incident, is psychologically supported by the state? The violent change of his daily life affects him on all levels. Its abrupt exclusion and inclusion in restriction creates negative consequences.
-Is there somewhere that parents can contact to get advice and instructions on how to manage certain situations?
-Because, dear Constantinos Ioannou - Minister of Health Prodromos G. Prodromou Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of the Child - Cyprus Ministry of Health Republic of Cyprus Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth this pandemic situation does not seem to end soon, please create all the necessary infrastructure for the effective, immediate and efficient support of children! At your disposal!".
