On the streets of Vienna, little visitors can discover hands-on stations for the whole family, which are set up at numerous locations.
Shocking threat in a Vienna middle school
The girl's confession surprised many. She stated that she had no real interest in carrying out the threat. Rather, her behavior is a reaction to the bullying she experienced at school.

Police did not provide any information about the girl's age, but the entire situation raises highly complex questions about violence prevention that have preoccupied experts for years. Cosmo reports that the incidents also underscore the urgency of taking bullying in schools seriously.
