A way to protect a child from bullying at school has become known

To protect their child from bullying at school, parents can contact the school’s dispute resolution committee. The method of defending the interests of schoolchildren was voiced by a member of the Public Chamber (PC) commission on public control and work with citizens’ appeals, Evgeny Masharov, his words are quoted by TASS.

“The child’s legal representative can send an appeal to the school management with a request not only to understand the situation, but also to apply disciplinary sanctions to the teachers (for example, to reprimand),” Masharov said.

In addition, parents can write a complaint to the prosecutor's office, call a juvenile affairs inspector and, if necessary, involve a school psychologist in solving the problem. If the school is inactive and bullying continues, you should go to court, a member of the OP advised.

In April, a resident of Vladivostok sued the school for 80 thousand rubles for bullying - classmates bullied her child for a long time, and the administration of the institution did not help resolve the issue. A resident of the Chelyabinsk region, whose fifth-grader son was bullied for more than a year, faced a similar problem. The teachers, according to the woman, ignored the situation, as a result of which one of the conflicts ended in a concussion for the child.

According to data for 2025, more than 80 percent of Russians who were subjected to bullying encountered it during their school years, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta. At the same time, every tenth resident of the country was subjected to bullying.
