ABSTRACT

Introduction. In the context of the digitalisation of social relations, cyberbullying is becoming a widespread phenomenon among minors. Cyberbullying may have elements of the corpus delicti of the relevant offence, the means of committing which is bullying (mental violence) with the use of information and telecommunications networks (including the Internet). It seems that one of the factors determining the offences committed by the method of Internet bullying is the parents’ neglect of their duties to bring up a minor. Methods. The methodological basis of the scientific research was the universal dialectical method of scientific cognition. In addition, the following methods were used during the study: system-structural, formal-logical, concrete-sociological, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, analogy, generalisation of data, statistical, metaphysical, criminological modelling. Results. Neglect or inadequate fulfilment of obligations to bring up a minor is defined as neglect of the child, rudeness, humiliation of human dignity, use of insults, exploitation and use of parental rights to the detriment of the child’s interests. The question of the interpretation of the concept of “ill-treatment” is analysed. Based on the analysis of the scientific literature, the authors concluded that the neglect of duties of bringing up a minor influences the formation of the personalities of the offender and the victim in crimes committed by means of Internet bullying. In the course of characterising the personalities of the perpetrator and victim in the related offences, a characteristic feature of juveniles was identified – their isolation from their parents and, as a consequence, their parents’ lack of involvement in the event. Analysis of the characteristics of the personality of the perpetrator and the victim in crimes committed by means of bullying in information and telecommunications networks (including the Internet), as well as the connection with the neglect of parental responsibilities for the upbringing of minors, made it possible to formulate measures to prevent cyberbullying among minors.
