The mother of the child did not attach importance to the unlawful actions of the cohabitant, perceiving them as an educational process.

The applied violence in law enforcement agencies was reported by an indifferent passer -by, paying attention to the traces of the beating of the boy, while both guardians left him on the street unattended and violated public order.

Investigators immediately conducted forensic examinations, which revealed numerous injuries in a minor. The whole set of investigative actions to collect and consolidate the evidence base was promptly organized and carried out. The necessary assistance was provided to the injured child — he was removed from the family and is currently at rehabilitation in a social shelter for children and adolescents.
