What happened

The UK previously informed that two children were found in a ravine in the village of Prokudino in the afternoon of December 22. The arriving ambulance team ascertained the death of the boy born in 2013. A girl born in 2016 was taken to a hospital, her condition is assessed as critical.

Information is being collected about the family where the children were brought up. Based on the results of the audit, an appropriate procedural decision will be made, ”the agency said in a release.

Telegram channel Mash reported that the family moved to Prokudino last year. “According to the locals, 8-year-old Vanya and 5-year-old Anya are from a normal family. But recently, the parents divorced, and my mother, 43-year-old Vera Zaitseva, tried to transfer them to home schooling. The school did not approve of this decision, so she took the children and left in an unknown direction. In November I returned, and this morning I wrote to my son's class teacher that he would not come to school.

At lunchtime, a passer-by found the children in a snowdrift. They were without outer clothing. The boy died of hypothermia, doctors are fighting for the girl's life right now, ”the publication notes.

Frosts during the last 24 hours reached -20 degrees in this area.

The regional prosecutor's office has also started the check. The Atkar interdistrict prosecutor went to the scene, writes IA Region 64.

“It has been established that the children lived in a private comfortable house with a complete family. The family was not registered in any registers, did not fall into the field of view of law enforcement agencies. Based on the results of the audit, an assessment will be made of the exercise of parental rights, as well as the proper implementation of the preventive powers of the authorities, the issue of taking measures of the prosecutor's response will be considered, ”the department said.

The head of the region, Valery Radaev, instructed Vice-Governor Igor Pivovarov, together with law enforcement agencies, to find out all the circumstances and causes of the emergency, TASS reports.

What is known about the mother

After the message to the school that Vanya would not come to lessons, the director worried about the boy, who called his mother. She replied that “children are walking in the street,” and interrupted the conversation.

For some time, the woman could not be found - she did not answer calls, and the police were looking for her at the train station and bus station, suggesting that she might have tried to escape from the region.

Shortly before her arrest, the Baza Telegram channel managed to get through to the woman:

“I tried to warm them up with blankets, but they opened at night and were already frozen ... I already knew perfectly well that they would never get up ...

The neighbors hate me there - I, such a creature, left the children alone in the street. "

According to her, the cause of the tragedy was a boiler that broke down in the house - at night the children were overcooled and, as she claimed, died. Then their biological mother took them outside and ran away.

“There are a lot of oddities in this story - why were both children naked? Why didn't their mother report the incident to the police and fled? And, most importantly, why did she take them out into the street? " - notes Baza.

In turn, the Shot Telegram channel wrote that the father of the children, 46-year-old Alexander Zaitsev, came to the police himself. Both parents were taken to their home in Prokudino for investigation.
