A Tyumen regional court issued a ruling that obliges a guardian to pay compensation for moral damage to three minor children who suffered abuse while under her care. This information comes from the Unified press service of the regional judicial system.
Authorities report that a 55-year-old resident of Tyumen was placed in charge of the three young victims. During the period of guardianship, the children endured repeated acts of violence carried out by the caregiver. The allegations include the use of mop handles, belts, a wooden abacus, logs, iron objects, and sticks to strike the children. One child was reportedly confined in a bathhouse for an entire day in connection with a minor offense.
A criminal case was opened in connection with these events. The regional prosecutor’s office pursued a civil action in court to secure compensation for moral damages on behalf of the minors. The court ultimately ordered the Tyumen guardian to pay 275,000 rubles to the three adopted children in recognition of the harm they endured (citation: Unified press service of the regional judicial system).
In related historical context, a separate case in Kaliningrad involved a former guardian who beat a nine-year-old girl and forced her to consume vomit, which drew significant attention to abuses within guardianship arrangements. The proceedings in Tyumen underscore ongoing concerns about safeguarding vulnerable children and ensuring accountability for caregivers who fail to protect them (citation: Unified press service of the regional judicial system).
