Law enforcement officials note that recruiters use cunning methods — radicalization begins with friendly communication. As a result, teenagers lose touch with the real world and become puppets in the hands of criminal groups. The GKNB strongly recommends that parents pay attention to their children's behavior. Potential signs of danger may include sudden withdrawal, distancing from family, displaying aggressive views, hidden contacts with unfamiliar people online, and interest in closed groups of dubious nature. Justifying violence and hostility towards loved ones should also raise alarms.
Special services emphasize that successful prevention largely depends on open communication within the family and reasonable monitoring of children's online activity. It is important not only to observe the child's behavior but also to explain the fallacies of radical ideas so that they can recognize manipulations in time. When suspicious signs are detected, citizens should immediately contact the territorial divisions of the GKNB. The fight against the spread of dangerous ideologies in the republic continues with increased activity, as forming immunity to extremism is a shared task for both families and society.
