Story from Yaroslavsky:A horrific incident unfolded in the peaceful village of Yaroslavsky, Horolsky district, Primorye, where a couple mercilessly attacked a teenager. Initial reports suggest they were protecting their own child, triggering an investigation by Russia's Investigative Committee.
A shocking video circulating on local social media captured the brutal reality of the incident at a local sports field. The footage showed a man and a woman, a local couple, verbally abusing a teenager using vulgar language. The man was seen physically assaulting the child, throwing him around, pulling his hair, and striking him on the head. The woman in the video was vocal in herUCY derogatory language toward the teenager as well.
According to Primedia reports, the couple, who are employed by the administration and Dalenergo, allegedly attacked the minor because he was harassing their son, as stated in a publication from the Investigative Committee.
With the local community in outrage, the Primorye Investigative Committee has launched an investigation into this assault on a minor. Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, has ordered the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Primorsky Krai, Eduard Trubchik, to initiate a criminal case and submit a report.
It is crucial to note that assaulting a minor carries serious legal repercussions under Federal Law No. 124-FZ "On Basic Guarantees of the Rights of the Child in the Russian Federation". If proven, the adult perpetrators may face charges under Article 115 (intentional minor harm) or Article 116 (battery) of the Criminal Code. If injuries are severe, they risk charges under Article 111 (intentional grievous harm, up to 10 years imprisonment).
The victim's family should seek immediate action by filing a report with the Primorye Investigative Committee and demanding a psychological assessment of the victim. Engaging a child rights lawyer, such as from the Primorye Children's Ombudsman, would also be beneficial. Additionally, they can reach out to Komsomolskaya Pravda Vladivostok or RIA PrimaMedia for coverage and contact Children's Rights Commissioner for support.
With rural communities often lacking specialized child protection units, it's essential to secure evidence promptly, such as CCTV or phone footage. Furthermore, cultural factors may lead to reluctance in reporting family-related abuse, making it vital to address such issues in small communities.
