Two infants in serious condition were found on February 16 in an apartment in Perovo. According to preliminary data, they were not fed for some time. A criminal case was opened against the parents, they face up to three years in prison. The lawyers also had questions to the guardianship authorities. More details - in the material. Last night, two infants were found in a serious condition in an apartment building on Plekhanov Street in Moscow. They haven't been fed for a while. This was reported on Wednesday, February 16, by the Moscow City News Agency.
“The boys are eight months old, they are twin brothers. Children in serious condition were hospitalized in one of the capital's hospitals, ”the press service of the Moscow prosecutor’s office informed, whose Telegram channel also published photos of the dwelling in which the starving twins were found:
The check was ordered to be carried out by the Perovskaya inter-district prosecutor's office. Employees of the department find out the circumstances and reasons for what happened, assess the fulfillment of the requirements of the legislation on minors, including the actions of parents in fulfilling their parental duties. Based on the results of the audit, prosecutorial response measures will be taken.
It is known that parents of twins have previously lost parental rights to other children.
They were interviewed by a prosecutor. In a video released by the agency, the twins' biological mother can be heard claiming that she allegedly fed them:
“I fed ... well, how can you prove that I fed the children? I bought ... When Romochka fell ill with me - he had a strong cough - I have it except for juice, I gave him Agusha, I didn’t drink anything.
When asked why the children were in the hospital in a serious condition, the woman said that one of them had a congenital heart disease.
A criminal case has been initiated under Art. 156, 117 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Improper performance of duties for the upbringing of a minor, torture). The course of the investigation is controlled by the Moscow prosecutor's office.
Now parents face up to three years in prison.
According to the IC, at the time of the discovery of the children, their parents were also in the apartment and were intoxicated. It is reported that they systematically consumed alcohol and led an antisocial lifestyle.
In the near future, the defendants will be taken to the police department. The Chairman of the Russian Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, personally instructed to open a criminal case on this fact to the head of the capital's main department.
In addition, questions arise for the guardianship authorities, Daria Akhtyrko, a family lawyer, noted in an interview.
“Despite the fact that parents were deprived of parental rights in relation to other children, it is not clear why no checks were made on the maintenance and upbringing of minors in this family? And if they did, then why didn't they initiate the process of deprivation of parental rights?
Based on the currently available photographs of the children's place of residence, as well as information about their parents, the procedure for depriving parental rights should have been initiated earlier in order to prevent such consequences,” she concluded.
According to her, there are all grounds for deprivation of parental rights in relation to the parents of the affected twins. Investigators plan to evaluate the work of local prevention agencies.
According to the Mash Telegram channel, this family had 10 children - eight of them were taken away by guardianship due to neglect of duties.
“The eldest child of Tatyana and Mikhail Borovykh is 16 years old, he and his seven brothers and sisters (the youngest is 2 years old) are brought up in a boarding school. Two eight-month-old twins lived with their parents until relatives found them hungry in a dirty apartment, and one of the babies was suffocating, ”the publication says.
