The initiative was proposed by the leader of the “For Safety” movement Dmitry Kurdesov. He sent a letter with a corresponding proposal to the head of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
According to RT, the public figure noted that in recent years, news about the infliction of physical violence against children has periodically appeared in the media. In a number of cases, this resulted in serious injuries and even hospitalization of the victims.
According to the author of the initiative, the measures of responsibility applied at the moment cannot stop people, and they continue to violate the law.
The current punishment provides for an imprisonment of up to 10 years. This is established in Articles 111 and 112 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation by separate subparagraphs, which speaks of causing harm to minors.
It means that the sanction is provided for crimes against persons under 14 years of age. As for the rest, and these are teenagers from 14 to 18 years old, even softer measures of responsibility are provided for in case of harm caused.
Kurdesov, in turn, proposes to change the criminal law by separating the norms on inflicting grave and medium gravity harm to the health of minors in a separate article. It is proposed to establish a sanction for violation of such a norm in the form of an imprisonment up to 12 and 8 years, respectively.
