"Danish parents and politicians: Evacuate the children from Prague
Week 7 and 8 is the winter holiday for Danish High School children. For the last couple of years a massive number of teenager numbering around 10,000 have traveled to Prague so they can celebrate with a binge drinking holiday just as they would do if they had remained in Denmark where they would have rented beach houses for the parties instead.
However this year the police in the Czech Republic has raided the night clubs and arrested several only because they had been drinking a few beers. It seems that they now focuses on an old law introduced before the iron wall fell where minors below 18 are not allowed to even consume small amounts of alcohol.
Many teenagers are stuck in their hotels unable to do anything but trying to email and Skype home. We urge Danish politicians to take actions to evacuate the children and if we are unable to reach members of the parliament we hope to reach out to the parents so the teenagers don't suffer in-reversal emotional damage which would scar them for the rest of their lives.
The teenagers with parental approval had purchased pre-arranged package deals with hotels and night clubs based on Danish customs where teenagers are introduced to alcohol by their parents when the children are confirmed at age 14 or 15 depending of what part of Denmark they live. They have been set up and trapped by the authorities in Prague and the travel agencies. Help them home!
