A woman in Karelia endured a severe alcohol-induced coma but survived thanks to her son’s immediate action. This account was shared by local authorities on the Kostomuksha city district page on VKontakte, highlighting how a single moment of care can change a life.
According to a local source, the woman consumed a dangerous amount of alcohol and lost consciousness in the presence of her child. The young boy acted without hesitation, recognizing that his mother needed urgent medical help. He contacted emergency services, and responders arrived swiftly, providing essential medical care that stabilized her condition and prevented a worse outcome.
The patient avoided serious harm due to rapid medical intervention, and after she recovered, authorities reviewed the incident and held the children’s affairs commission accountable for administrative considerations related to the event. The family is currently under ongoing oversight by preventive services to ensure safety and support are in place.
In a separate but related matter, a four-year-old girl from Troitsk, in the Chelyabinsk region, was involved in a safety incident when her uncle was present during a fire. This detail underscores ongoing concerns about child safety and the importance of adult supervision in preventing harm in households across the region.
These incidents collectively emphasize the critical role of quick recognition, timely emergency response, and aftercare in safeguarding families. Local authorities continue to monitor and support families to reduce risk and improve well-being in communities across Karelia and neighboring regions.
