“I would have to be crazy to tell my son that [carrying a knife] is the right thing. Or that these knife attacks are the right thing to do,” he said, adding, “You know, we, our security services, go into schools to look in students' backpacks, search whether they are carrying knives. You do not know about this. In one school we found 70 boys and girls carrying knives. We took the knives from them, talked to them and told them it was a mistake [to carry a knife].”
“When a child goes and takes a knife, he does not consult with anyone.
