Community service for man who punched boy (8) in face, breaking nose
Summary
In a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court hearing, Kamil Naumczyk, 40, pleaded guilty to assaulting an eight‑year‑old boy, breaking the child's nose, after a dispute involving his daughters. Naumczyk followed the boys into a back garden and punched the child, causing him to fall and suffer a deviated septum that required surgery. The boy was taken to Tallaght Hospital and later to a specialist. Naumczyk admitted the act and said he was defending his daughters. Judge Martin Nolan, after reviewing a report confirming Naumczyk's suitability for community service, imposed 240 hours of community service in lieu of an 18‑month prison sentence. The judge noted Naumczyk's remorse, cooperation with Gardaí, long work history, family responsibilities and lack of prior convictions, and expressed hope that he would not repeat the offence. The victim's impact statement was not read out. The court considered but rejected monetary compensation, citing the victim's minor status.
