The head of education of St. Petersburg wants to send children to a psychologist for posts with anime

The history of relations between anime and St. Petersburg continues – earlier there was a court banning projects on certain sites, and now the head of the city’s education committee spoke out against the animation.

According to Natalia Putilovskaya, she herself is not registered in social networks and believes that the student’s personal page is not “the only way to understand him.” It is more correct if the class teacher is responsible for this question.

She then added that the child should be sent to a psychologist if he has relevant content on the page, hinting at problems. Anime was also mentioned among them.

I saw the pages of children who died from suicides, with Death Notes, with their own anime drawings. For a specialist, the picture is clear there. If the school psychologist had seen all this before, the child could have been saved.

According to her, not so long ago she encountered a similar example, when a girl called the hotline, “after watching such anime stories.”

Also, according to Putilovskaya, a student’s “closed page” on social networks or posts related to politics can become a dangerous signal of alarm.

Therefore, special attention should be paid to such a child. Close the pages of the unit.
