    Psychological and emotional neglect: failure to ensure emotional needs, intellectual and psychological development of the child, abandonment of the child

    Bullying

    Bullying

    Bullying takes place predominantly at school or school facility and it signifies the behaviour of a pupil with the intention to harm, threaten or intimidate another pupil or intentional, most likely repeated attack on a pupil or group of pupils who for various reasons do not know how or cannot effectively defend themselves. Bullying can manifest itself mainly in physical attacks, insults, invectives, mockery, embarrassment, but also as a stealing of something or cyberbullying. Cyberbullying involves the misuse of information and communication technologies (particularly the telephone, tablet, internet and social networks) for intentional threats, harm or intimidation, often in conjunction with other forms of bullying.

    Secondary victimisation

    Secondary victimisation

    It is a phenomenon when a victim of violence repeatedly becomes a victim of violence as a result of insensitive conduct, inadequate attitude or inaction of each person in a system determined for helping the victims of violence. Secondary victimisation can also be caused by insensitive media coverage of cases of violence – for more information on this topic, see this page: For the media.
