In March 2025, the National Police of Ukraine announced that a new virus was spreading among children in our country dangerous game – “chapping”. This is a dangerous type of extreme riding on trains, trams or other transport, when a person clings to the outer parts of the cars or stands on the footboards.
According to law enforcement officers, since the beginning of the year, as of March 23, 8 cases of “zacheping” have been recorded in Ukraine, as a result of which 9 children were injured.
