Police in Warsaw, Poland, couldn't believe their eyes. They had to arrest one 14-year-old teenager who tried to derail city trams in Lodz. The most serious on the whole situation was fact that this boy used homemade device which made all by himself!He tried to switch tram tracks from distance using infra-red and remote-control and caused that three times were these tracks really switched and once even the tram jumped the tracks. As polish officers found this device in suspect's home he will be probably indicted from others derailments in Lodz.Boy couldn't do anything else than to confess and take his responsibility for problems he caused to polish tram depots and now he is placed in a detention centre for juvenile delinquents. But he was the only teenager who tried similar dangerous things and caused problems. There are also other cases.Children are still more and more active, and in these days most of them is just bored by playing PC games or watching television. They want more action! And that's why many of them are just entertaining themselves by making various devices which in many cases hurt someone. It is also no problem to find instructs how to build up similar "inventions".There were many stories about how teenage boy made for example a bomb & just like one 16-year-old boy from Holland who just didn't want to go to school and that's why he threatened to let the school explode. Sometimes also happens that some child just calls to the school and says there is a bomb. Children are more and more shifty. That's why parents should be careful and should talk to their children not just to know them better but also to educate them and show them there are better ways how to play and entertain themselves!
