THE Public Prosecution Service of Rio Grande do Sul (MPRS) presented, this Monday (31), in Porto Alegre the results of Signs Project which monitors radicalized teenagers or in risk . The project has been inspired by the repercussion of Netflix’s “Adolescence” series, which addresses the theme.
The data presented by MPRS show that 178 cases have been accompanied since last year, with 61 Still on monitoring. The searches initiative Prevent radicalization and extreme violence among young people.
Attorney General Alexandre Saltz stressed the importance of information and fast action to avoid episodes of extreme violence .
“The number is high and shows the importance of society to inform yourself to act quickly and avoid episodes of extreme violence. So we are here, to talk about the roots of this kind of violence, our institutional role and the role of each of us, citizens, fathers and mothers. What are we doing? What can we do?” He said.
Attorney Fabio Costa Pereira, coordinator of the Prevention Center for Extreme violence and from Signs Project pointed out the difficulty in understanding the impact of social media in the formation of young people.
“The series addresses, for example, bullying and the incel movement, which propagates hate against women, and how these online communities are dangerous for teenagers in formation. And in virtually all cases monitored by MPRS, some factors repeat themselves, among them, that parents do not know what their children consume in the digital world and that teenagers are bullied victims,” explains Pereira.
Case Monitoring
During a seminar promoted by MPRS, most monitored cases show that parents are unaware of the content consumed by their children in the digital environment, and that teenagers are victims of bullying .
Prosecutor Marcio Abreu Ferreira da Cunha, member of the Extreme violence highlighted the need to change the perception of the problem.
“Our mindset to see this problem has to be completely modified, because a lot of people think this only occurs in large centers, but we have already monitored cases in city of four thousand inhabitants. Radicalism has no borders,” he said Wedge.
Signs
The analysis of digital footprints as posts, comments and interactions, helps in identifying standards and warning signs . MPRS identified that the Tiktok was used as the main means of recruitment, directing young people to closed platforms such as the Discord .
The seminar also debated the New forms of discrimination in the social media . The debate still addressed the anti -Semitism throughout history and its propagation in social media .
