A 27-year-old resident of Khabarovsk has been found guilty of abusing her young children. The ruling comes from the district attorney’s office and follows a lengthy investigative process that involved medical examinations and witness testimonies.
Between February and April 2021, investigators established that the mother physically harmed her three-month-old daughter by beating and strangling her with a pillow. Reports indicate the infant was not fed on a regular basis and was left unattended for extended periods, increasing the risk to the child’s health and safety.
The mother is also the guardian of a son, who reportedly did not receive proper care or attention during the same period. The court determined that the child did not receive the necessary nutrition and supervision, which contributed to a deteriorating health condition for both children.
According to the department press service, the mother repeatedly violated the child’s nutritional needs, replacing a proper diet with foods unsuitable for a minor. The actions described were seen as harmful to the child’s development and energy levels, which were noted as a serious concern given the child’s age and medical condition.
In its final decision, the court sentenced the mother to 6 years and 10 months of imprisonment in a general regime penal colony and ordered a fine of 80,000 rubles. The sentence reflects the severity of the abuse and neglect that affected both children, as documented by evidence gathered during the investigation.
Previously, another case in Krasnoyarsk involved a mother who filmed the bullying of a disabled son and received a short imprisonment term. This prior incident is cited in related coverage as context for ongoing concerns about child protection and parental responsibility in the region.
Authorities emphasize the importance of safeguarding vulnerable children and ensuring that caregivers provide appropriate nutrition, hygiene, medical care, and constant supervision. The case underscores the legal repercussions for parents who fail to meet fundamental duties of care toward their minor children and highlights ongoing efforts to strengthen protective measures for families in need.
