Children sometimes line up in the morning to get a seat at the front of the central square. That also means that they play truant on school days.
Berael points out the safety risks: “They often have no concert experience and have difficulty making assessments. A central square like this is a very dangerous place: children can suddenly be pushed over or trampled. At previous concerts, we had parents who called the next day to claim compensation. questions, because their children’s expensive smartphones or glasses had fallen.”
Is it about individuals? No, it turns out. Berael talks about “hundreds of children”, sometimes 8 or 10 years old, attending a performance without the company of an adult. Guidance is also recommended for teenagers aged 12 to 16. Do they come unaccompanied? Then they are expected to have received explicit permission and must be able to submit a signed form.
