"Be careful, do not commit actions that may lead to terrible consequences – injury or death. Do not take selfies in extreme conditions, do not commit train hopping, do not try to gain access to construction sites, to say nothing of playing there, do not swim in unequipped places," he noted.

The minister also urged parents to explain children how serious the consequences of these actions can be.

"Be vigilant in matters of your children's safety, organize positive and safe leisure time for them, control their pastime. Do not remain indifferent if you see that the child needs help," the press service of the regional ministry of education quotes Alexander Voronkov.
