At the Wyden school in Winterthur-Wülflingen, parents are reporting massive problems. According to the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper, a group of 10 to 15 children are causing fear - with violence, threats, theft and damage to property.
Affected parents describe a stressful everyday life: children are beaten, threatened or blackmailed, school materials are destroyed and property is damaged. Normal lessons are hardly possible and teachers seem overwhelmed.
According to the report, parents are now calling for external support, a review of the situation and concrete measures. Over 60 parents have signed a petition to this effect.

However, the city relativizes the accusations: the orderly running of the school was guaranteed at all times. City councillor Martina Blum does not want to comment on the specific allegations to the "Tages-Anzeiger", but confirms that investigations have been carried out. This has resulted in a strategy with measures that are now to be implemented.
The parents are disappointed with the reaction so far - but hope that the announced steps will quickly have an effect.
