A parent and a teacher who commit physical violence against a child for the purpose of upbringing will be fined up to 200 manats.
Modern.az reports that the issue is reflected in the new Article 525-1 proposed for the Code of Administrative Offenses, which was discussed at today's plenary session of the Milli Majlis.
According to the draft, parents (persons replacing them), and employees of educational, medical, social service, sports, cultural, recreational, and penitentiary institutions who are responsible for supervising children, will be fined in the amount of two hundred manats for the application of corporal punishment against a child, i.e., for committing physical and (or) psychological violence against a child for the purpose of upbringing or as a disciplinary measure.
This will be applied when the act does not lead to criminal liability according to the relevant articles of the Criminal Code.
The issue has been adopted in the first reading.
