In Bolshoi Kamen, a city within Primorsky District, police officers identified a troubling incident where schoolchildren were seen bullying a woman. The report comes from the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Earlier, footage circulated on social networks showing a boy exchanged words with a woman who had entered a building. After the woman attempted to confront him, the student managed to run away. The sequence continued as the woman pursued him and another schoolchild then followed and delivered a kick to her back. The moments captured sparked concern across the community and drew attention to the behavior shown by youth.
Authorities confirmed that the individuals involved had their identities established. The Ministry of Internal Affairs indicated that the events occurred at two educational institutions in the city and that the participants were students in the fifth grade of one and the seventh grade of the other. This clarification helps residents understand the age group and the context of the incident.
In response, preventive interviews were conducted with the students involved. Officials emphasized that criminal behavior by minors is unacceptable and stressed the importance of appropriate conduct in school and public spaces. Investigators also noted that neither the students nor their parents had prior police records, which shaped the approach toward preventive education rather than punitive measures at this stage.
According to police representatives, the collected materials will be forwarded to the children’s affairs commission to determine suitable educational actions. This step reflects a broader commitment to addressing youth aggression through counseling, parental engagement, and school-based programs designed to deter future incidents.
The incident mirrors concerns raised in other cities where young people have been observed engaging in aggressive acts. It was reported that the event followed another case in Kazan, where two bystanders fled the scene after intervention attempts by passersby. Such parallel episodes highlight a pattern that authorities say should be countered with early intervention and robust community support systems.
Local officials reiterated their stance that schools and families must collaborate to promote respectful behavior and to identify signs of distress or conflict among students before problems escalate. Community leaders urged parents to maintain open lines of communication with their children and to seek guidance from educators when behavioral changes appear. The overarching goal remains clear: ensure safe environments for both students and residents while providing constructive pathways for youths who may be struggling with pressure, bullying dynamics, or social challenges.
Officials also noted that ongoing monitoring and preventive education will continue in the affected schools. They emphasized that responses to incidents involving minors are handled with care to balance accountability with opportunities for reform and learning. The ministry affirmed its commitment to use educational measures and counseling resources in lieu of harsh penalties whenever appropriate, in alignment with child protection principles and regional policy.
