In the Sverdlovsk region, a seven-year-old boy was seen moving along the street alone, repeatedly seeking food from strangers. Police were alerted, and officers brought the child to the local station where he could be kept safe while a welfare check was conducted. Passersby and nearby residents offered water and bread, creating a small circle of care until professional help could take over. The scene underscored how quickly a child can become vulnerable when separated from family and routines in a busy urban environment, and it prompted coordination between police, social services, and guardians to determine the best path forward for his safety and wellbeing. Authorities remind the public that rapid, compassionate responses can prevent a crisis from worsening.
