Chalgotek, alcohol and paradise gas: What do kids do in the late afternoon?  - 1

While the police are checking the discos in Varna, minors are having fun in children's discos like adults. The parties are organized in pop-folk discotheques all over the country and are from 18:00 to 22:00. It turned out that in the children's disco that journalists visited, they do not drink natural juices or eat pizzas. Balloons of paradise gas are distributed. Alcohol is drunk… And not only. There is also aggression. And sometimes the guards take the children out of the chalgotek in their arms.

Several eleventh-graders became popular on social networks as “pedophile hunters”. In recent months, they have a new cause - they are the patrol for intoxicated children on the capital's streets, Nova TV specifies.

"These parties are held in the daylight and the kid says he's walking outside. I saw some small children, minors even, who were drunk, intoxicated by paradise gas, who were sold alcohol and were having fun in the lowest way,'' says Kaloyan Nenkov, a student in the 11th grade.

"Strippers were hired. They were not naked, but in swimsuits, for example, or very provocatively dressed. Still, it's a party for all ages. Again, there were an awful lot of small children," says Viktor Chakarski, a student in the 11th grade.

Young children, who are often drunk or drugged at a daytime disco, explain drunken child hunters. Students share their experiences with their teachers. Parents' meetings are held regularly because of the problem, but without success.

On Children's Day we do an experiment. With permission from a parent, we checked how a 17-year-old boy can celebrate the holiday in the capital's chalgotheka. A line has been forming since 6 p.m. At the entrance, instead of ID cards, children are asked for a fee of BGN 20. And inside there were ashtrays on the tables and smoking was allowed. As well as alcohol.

The automatic patrol for drunk children is less and less able to enter the children's discotheques, because they are already recognizable by the security. They also received threats.
