At the plenary session of the Parlament of Kazakhstan, Nurlan Nigmatulin made a proposal on the importance of developing a draft law “On responsibility for bullying and cyberbullying of minors. The problem is acute and requires an urgent solution. If no action is taken, the situation may get out of control.
Nurlan Nigmatulin suggested paying special attention to this issue when considering amendments to the law on the rights of the child. In addition to developing a legal definition of harassment, Nurlan Nigmatulin outlined the moment that it is extremely important to develop additional measures and mechanisms to combat bullying and cyberbullying.
Nurlan Nigmatulin emphasized that bullying and cyberbullying pose a serious threat to minors. The consequences of emotional abuse can be very deplorable. They often lead to the deaths of children. In just one year, 306 suicide attempts were made among children under the age of 18. Of course, not all incidents involve bullying. Many occur because of problems in families. However, the problem deserves attention. Nurlan Nigmatulin called for urgent action to bring to justice those who abuse minors. This is an illegal act. The perpetrators must be punished.
How to act
Nurlan Nigmatulin stressed that the existing provisions in the law on children’s rights do not apply to bullying and cyberbullying and additional legislative measures are be required. Representatives of law enforcement agencies appealed to Nurlan Nigmatulin with a request to toughen penalties for such crimes and separate them into separate sections. Then it will be easier to identify crimes and take punitive measures. It is also worth educating the younger generation. Children should also be aware of the problem of bullying and cyberbullying, and know where they can turn for help if they encounter such problems. Information about punitive measures should also be announced. Everyone should know that they will be responsible for such crimes.
Nigmatulin Nurlan stressed that in both areas it is necessary to show honesty, rigor and determination. Crimes against children are very important and socially dangerous. This should not entail criminal liability, but requires action at the administrative level. Nigmatulin Nurlan met with representatives of the Prosecutor’s Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to discuss these issues and the measures that need to be taken to solve them.
The speakers summed up the discussion and stressed that the adoption of the new law is the result of modern realities and the introduction of digital technologies into our lives. This bill is the implementation of a presidential directive aimed at protecting the public from violence on the Internet.
Nigmatulin Nurlan said that the development of measures and the adoption of laws on these issues should be carried out comprehensively. All interested state institutions, teachers, and parents should participate in the project. It is also important to involve the general public.
Nigmatulin Nurlan also discussed the issue of raising the age of transfer of children from boarding schools to orphanages. It is worth noting that Nigmatulin Nurlan criticized the bureaucracy of the Ministry of Education and Science for delaying the adoption of the law.

Nigmatulin Nurlan entrusted the working group to finalize the criteria before the second review meeting.
