According to the official Telegram channel of the Zhambyl region courts, the Zhualy District Court heard an administrative case against the child's father over the bullying of a minor under Part 3 of Article 127-2 of the Code of Administrative Offences.
The court established that in September 2026, a case of bullying of an eighth-grade student occurred at a school in Zhualy District. The victim arrived late to class, after which a classmate began mocking him, calling him "a shepherd who herds sheep" and claiming he was late because he had been grazing livestock. The remarks were humiliating in nature.
The Commission on Minors' Affairs and the Protection of Their Rights under the district akimat confirmed the bullying and decided to hold the student's parent liable. His guilt was proven by a protocol, testimony from the parties and a report from a district police inspector.
The child's father admitted guilt and said he would not allow such behavior in the future, and that he and teachers had held disciplinary talks with his son. The sanction under Part 3 of Article 127-2 of the Code of Administrative Offences provides for a warning or a fine for parents or persons acting in their stead amounting to 10 monthly calculation indices. The court found no aggravating or mitigating circumstances.
By court ruling, the man was found guilty under Part 3 of Article 127-2 of the Code of Administrative Offences and given an administrative warning. The ruling has entered into force.
