Police have begun checks at Nikolaus Lenau High School in Timișoara after a photograph appeared online on October 22, 2026, allegedly showing a 13-year-old student in a classroom holding a sharp-edged, pointed object. According to the Timiș County Police Inspectorate, the image was reportedly taken the previous day and later shared on a social media platform.

At the time the report was made, officers from the School Safety Bureau and the local community police officer were at the school carrying out preventive activities. They identified the classroom and the student, spoke with the school management and several classmates, and are checking how the photograph was taken and distributed.

The boy’s father was called to the school and said he did not know that his son possessed such an object. Representatives of the Timiș County Directorate for Social Assistance and Child Protection were also present at the scene to assess the situation.

Police initiated proceedings ex officio for the unlawful carrying or use of dangerous objects. The case will also be analyzed by the school’s committee for preventing violence, which is expected to determine the necessary measures.

Context: o serie de incidente recente cu obiecte tăietoare/înțepătoare în școli și proceduri penale sau de protecție

În ultimele săptămâni au fost raportate mai multe cazuri în care minori au fost implicați în violențe cu cuțite sau obiecte periculoase în contexte școlare. De exemplu, în Târgoviște, un elev de 14 ani a fost agresat și amenințat cu moartea de un coleg, iar poliția a emis un ordin de protecție provizoriu, după ce fusese evaluat un pericol iminent pentru victimă.

În Bistrița-Năsăud, imaginile unui atac cu cuțit dintr-o școală au ajuns în spațiul public, iar polițiștii au deschis un dosar penal pentru divulgare de date nepublice, pe lângă ancheta separată pentru tentativă de omor. Tot acolo, elevul de 13 ani a fost internat la Psihiatrie infantilă, iar autoritățile așteaptă diagnosticul medical.

Și în alte județe au existat episoade similare: la Mavrodin (Teleorman), un adolescent de 15 ani a fost cercetat pentru tentativă de omor după ce a înjunghiat un tânăr de 19 ani în curtea unei școli, iar la Medgidia un adolescent de 14 ani a fost găsit cu un briceag și aproximativ doi litri de benzină, motivând că le-ar avea pentru autoapărare.
