A man in Kazakhstan's Kostanay Region has been ordered to perform 100 hours of community service after attacking a child at a playground, the website infohub.kz reports.
According to the official Telegram channel of the Kostanay Region courts, the Uzunkol District Court heard a criminal case against a defendant accused of intentionally inflicting beatings that did not cause minor harm to health, committed against a person known to be a minor (Article 109-1, Part 2, Item 8 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan).
The court established that in September 2026 in the village of Satay, while at a playground, the defendant inflicted bodily injuries — a bruise to the left side of the chest — on a minor during a conflict that arose from personal animosity, causing the minor physical pain.
During the court debates, the prosecutor asked that the defendant be sentenced to community service.
The defendant admitted his guilt in full.
In imposing the sentence, the court considered as circumstances mitigating criminal liability and punishment his sincere remorse, the fact that he committed the criminal offense for the first time, and the presence of young children. The court found no aggravating circumstances in the case.
Taking into account the defendant's personality, the nature and degree of public danger of the act, and all the circumstances of the case, the court sentenced the man to 100 hours of community service.
The court also imposed special behavioral requirements on the convicted man for 6 months, prohibiting him, against the victim's will, from searching for, pursuing or visiting the victim, holding oral or telephone conversations, and contacting the victim in any other way.
The defendant was ordered to pay the victim compensation for moral harm and material damage.
The sentence has entered into legal force.
