Bakit Talgatkyzy published a video that she says shows K. Kanat, a trainer at the Phoenix correctional center in Almaty, abusing her 3-year-old child. A criminal case has been opened against Kanat, but the family fears he may be released under amnesty as a previous trainer at the same center was in March 2026. The Almaty police department has not responded to Ulysmedia.kz's request for comment.
Video and Criminal Case
Bakit Talgatkyzy said on Threads that the footage shows K. Kanat, a trainer at the Phoenix correctional center in Almaty, with her 3-year-old child. She described psychological shock, nightmares, and fear of people in the boy, who repeats the phrase “аға нельзя нельзя.” A criminal case has been opened against Kanat, according to the mother. The Almaty police department did not confirm the case to Ulysmedia.kz.
Previous Trainer and Amnesty
The same center employed a trainer named Zhanat, who was accused in March 2026 after video showed him bending a child's arms. He was charged under Article 140 of the Criminal Code, which covers failure to fulfill duties in raising a minor, then detained in a temporary holding facility. Bakit Talgatkyzy said Zhanat admitted guilt, apologized to parents, and was released under an amnesty, and continues to work with special-needs children. She questioned the correctness of that outcome.
Police Response
Ulysmedia.kz requested comment from the Almaty police department to confirm the criminal case against Kanat. The press service ignored the journalist's inquiry. The family fears a repeat of the March 2026 amnesty that released trainer Zhanat. The status of the case against Kanat remains unconfirmed.
