In Saaremaa, a troubling incident occurred involving three schoolchildren's winter boots, which were doused with water and subsequently thrown out of a window during freezing temperatures. The shoes were discovered after a track and field training session, already partially frozen due to the cold. The incident has raised concerns among parents and has led to a discussion on children's behavior and the responsibility of educating them about respect for others' belongings.

Jelena Past, a parent who reported the incident in a Facebook group called 'Märgatud Saaremaal,' expressed her dismay over the actions of the children involved. She questioned what could motivate one child to ruin another's property to the extent of throwing their shoes out of a window. Despite her efforts to raise awareness about the incident, the principal of Kuressaare Hariduse Kool was reportedly unaware of the events, leading to further questions about communication and oversight within the school.

This incident highlights the need for ongoing dialogue between parents and schools regarding the behavior of children and the importance of respect for one another's possessions. As the community reacts to this occurrence, it underscores an opportunity for schools to educate students on empathy and accountability, as well as the consequences of their actions, particularly in a school environment where such incidents can hinder a child's sense of safety and inclusivity.
