In Orken village, West Kazakhstan region, a teenager was bullied for six months. The mother, seeking justice, published a post on social media. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.

How the incident happened and who harassed the student was learned by a Sputnik Kazakhstan correspondent from the teenager's mother, Ainamgul Taszhan.

Lived with grandmother

A student from Atyrau came to study in West Kazakhstan this winter to help his maternal grandmother. He continued the second half of 9th grade at another school.

"After my father died, we sent him to be near his mother. An 11th-grade student began harassing him from that time, demanding money," says mother Ainamgul Taszhan.

Did not want to go to school

At first, the parents were unaware of the situation. It became known only when the student moved to 10th grade and the new school year began.

"I wanted to bring clothes for the school year, but he refused. My son, who used to be interested in sneakers, now says: 'I'll just wear shoes for the yard.' Believe it or not, I persuaded him for 10 days to buy new clothes. He simply did not want to go to school at all. They completely destroyed my very disciplined, good student's desire to go to school," says the mother.

Stopped eating

The student stopped eating and began to stoop.

"We were so worried that we saw a doctor, who said his health was fine. During that time, I had to go to Atyrau on business. I kept calling my son, he walked outside at night. He never had such a habit, my mother said: 'He seems strange, I think he's sick.' The grandmother went out to look for him but couldn't find him," says Ainamgul Taszhan.

'Grandma, I feel sick'

When the teenager came home, he kept telling his grandmother: "I don't want to go inside, my heart is squeezing."

"My son kept saying: 'Grandma, help me, I feel sick.' My mother ran, found a car, and took him to the hospital. They said everything was fine and sent him back. My son went to my sister's house in Uralsk. My son only told the emergency paramedic when they arrived: 'The kids beat me,'" says the mother.

Also beat classmates

The student who bullied him because he refused to give money also beat his classmates. Everyone was forced to collect and give money, says the student's mother.

"I didn't want to file a complaint against that boy. But there was no apology, no understanding of his mistake. On the contrary, he deceived the police and gave completely different information. When my son went to play football, he beat him along with three other boys, saying 'you didn't give money.' In short, he constantly pressured and intimidated my child," says the mother.

The bully is a neighbor

The student who beat him is a neighbor living right next door.

"I heard that he harassed not only my son but many other children. Now my son is studying online," says the mother of the bullied student.

Police are conducting a pre-trial investigation into the incident. Necessary investigative actions have been carried out with all persons involved in the crime. The investigation continues, says the West Kazakhstan region police department.
