Czech children increasingly at risk from alcohol and drug addictions

Experts point out that children under 15 have become increasingly prone developing alcohol and drug addictions in recent years. The head of the Child Help Line, Soňa Petrášková, said the number of "interventions" i.e., situations in which a worker has to call professional help to a child in trouble at the other end of the line are on the rise. Most often children overdose on alcohol, stimulants and cannabis, in that order.
