Dangerous Trend or Child's Play: Quadrobing in Crimea

2024-10-14 // SuperPodium
Quadrobing, a dangerous trend or child's play? The increasing popularity of this activity raises concerns about its impact on children's mental health.

Quadrobing, a disturbing trend that has gained popularity recently, involves children and teenagers dressing up as animals, crawling on all fours, and even occasionally biting passersby. Originally starting as an unofficial sport where people imitated the behavior and movements of animals, quadrobing has evolved into an unhealthy trend. To cater to children, businesses are now selling kennels and food that resemble those for cats.

The issue of quadrobing has even caught the attention of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The country's State Duma has already drafted a bill to ban quadrobing in Russia, as lawmakers believe that this movement promotes a destructive ideology.

But what about quadrobing in Crimea? What is the philosophy behind this movement? And is it harmful to children's mental health? Valeria Sugak investigates these questions.

The Origins of Quadrobing

The origins of quadrobing can be traced back to its beginnings as a sport, where participants imitated animal behavior as a form of exercise. However, in recent years, it has transformed into something more concerning.

The Unhealthy Trend

Quadrobing, once a form of gymnastics, has taken a dark turn. Children and teenagers engaging in this activity have started to mimic animals in a way that is no longer healthy or safe. The sale of kennels and cat-like food to cater to this growing trend raises alarm bells.

Concerns About Mental Health

The impact of quadrobing on children's mental health is a subject of debate. Some experts argue that it can lead to psychological issues, as children may struggle to distinguish between reality and fantasy. Others believe that it is simply a harmless form of play.

The Response

The Russian government's response to quadrobing has been to propose a ban on the activity. This move is seen as a way to protect children from potentially harmful influences and to prevent the spread of what they view as a destructive ideology.

Quadrobing in Crimea

While the focus has been on quadrobing in Russia, its presence in Crimea cannot be ignored. The extent of its popularity and the specific philosophy behind the movement in this region is still unclear.
