The online women's magazine, WMN published the annual review of Dr. Szilvi Gyurko, about the top 10 issues that have rattled the public in 2018, related to children.
1. eye-for-an-eye: when a child threw a meerkats on the floor in a zoo, comments flared up in the public that showed there were still a lot of people who saw punitive measures as the only method of discipline.
2. court ruling against the director of a child care home: while the case dates back to 2016, the final verdict was reached last year, against the director who has been abusing children in his care for several years.
3. what is a family? 2018 was declared the year of the family by the government, and public debate was about the defintion of a family (is it only a man and woman, with children...)
4. public education: the quality is still issue of concern, so is the lack of teachers
5. blue whale - only one of the many internet-based threats against children, but no institutional response has been formed yet
6. Segregating Roma pupils: a court has ruled that pupils are due HUF 89 million in Gyongyospata where they were forced into segregated classrooms. Furthermore the ruling states that long term life expectations can be damaged if children are discriminated in schools
7. The voice of children: for the first year UNICEF organised the day when children could take over the job of adults
8. Patriotism education in kindergarten - was introduced this year...
9. Political campaigns "using" children
10. Soros: the anti-Soros campaign of the government did not leave children untouched. They draw him (as evil) in school, they use his name as a swear word, together with the word "migrant"
