Details

Police officers discovered the violation while monitoring the Internet; before this, no one had contacted law enforcement with statements. In the published video, three boys took turns hitting a 13-year-old schoolboy in the face. Employees of the juvenile prevention sector of the Desnianskyi police department identified the minors — they turned out to be three teenagers, 13, 14, and 16 years old.

The teenagers told the police that they beat the 13-year-old schoolboy to "teach him a lesson," as he had allegedly insulted a girl from their company the day before.

Juvenile police officers conducted a preventive conversation with the minors, and at the same time, administrative materials were drawn up against the 16-year-old boy under Article 173 of the Code of Administrative Offenses – petty hooliganism, and protocols were drawn up against the parents of the other two under Article 184 of the Code of Administrative Offenses – improper performance by parents of their duties regarding the upbringing of children. They face a fine for what they did.
