Young people face legal action after a pepper spray incident at Oropos School

A 13-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy face court after a pepper spray incident at a school in Oropos, Attica.

On November 8, the girl showed her classmate the pepper spray, used it and sprayed it into the air. The boy, unaware of the potential dangers, then picked up the canister and continued spraying it.

The principal intervened and called the police.

Authorities have filed charges against the minors under Greece’s firearms law, and both parents are facing parental neglect charges for failing to properly supervise their children.
