Pole here. Unfortunately, it's only the top of an iceberg. Boys 13-16 are acting crazy these days in here. There is a lot of racist harassment driven by politics and TikTok. Just examples I came across recently (only around me):

  • In my neighbourhood - Warsaw - some teens painted a Ukrainian kid with dicks and vulgar words
  • 3 kids attacked my physiotherapist, they were riding a Bolt scooter and kicking people
  • One girl who works for my client on summer camps told us a story of Polish boys 14-16 harassing Bulgarian kids in Bulgaria "cause they are Roma"

How much of it do you think it's (edit: many, not all) parents not paying attention to the crap their kids are watching, and how much do you think it's other factors?
