"Mowgli Children" from Murino: what happened, a criminal case

On the evening of February 25, it became known about the discovery of three abandoned children in an apartment on Shuvalov Street in the city of Murino, Leningrad region.

How explained 78.ru Eyewitnesses, urine odors began to come from the "bad apartment" about a month ago, and children's screams were also heard. People complained to the management company, left notes, but it was all in vain.

And on February 25, residents of one of the houses on Shuvalov Street found a naked baby smeared with feces on the landing. Looking into the apartment, the neighbors were shocked: the children, three boys, were alone in a dirty room that looked more like a dump, without food and water. According to preliminary information, the grandmother of the brothers is the owner of the apartment.

The Investigative Committee of the Leningrad region has opened a criminal case against their mother for the torture of two or more minors (paragraphs "a", "d", part 2 of art. 117 of the Criminal Code). She was found, detained and sent for interrogation, and the investigators have already prepared a motion for the arrest of the woman. The Vsevolozhsk City Prosecutor's office organized a check on improper child care.

As the investigation found out, a 40-year-old woman living in Murino in an apartment building systematically deliberately did not feed or water her children in order to cause psychological suffering. In addition, she left them alone for a long time, which made them afraid.

The family's neighbor Olga Adamenko in conversation with a correspondent 78.ru She said that before the incident, she had never met either the children themselves or the mother in the house.

"It all started on February 23, at 12 p.m., a child started breaking into me, naked, covered in feces, holding keys in his hands. The boy was in a terribly neglected state, he could not pronounce a name or a word. At that moment, a neighbor was passing by, I asked him to come into the apartment, we opened the door and were horrified. A child of about five is sleeping on the floor, things are scattered, feces, ingrained urine, dirt and debris are on the walls," Olga said.

According to the woman, they hardly found a refrigerator in the apartment, but there was no food or water in it, only moldy chicken legs for a long time. There was no furniture or kitchen in the house, just things smeared with feces and scattered in every room.

What is known about the "Murinsky mowgli", where are they now

By source data 78.ru The children were raised in a family of internists, with one baby born to a surrogate mother. The grandmother who owns the apartment is also a doctor. She heads a department at one of the city's hospitals and is also a professor at the department.

According to the latest data, the mother of children abandoned in the apartment will not be deprived of parental rights. During the interrogation, she explained that on the ill-fated day, together with her mother and nephew, she went to a meeting with her employer, and left the children under the supervision of her older brother. And only then I found out about the incident. An administrative protocol has been drawn up against her under the article "Failure to fulfill duties for the maintenance and upbringing of minors."

The Mowgli children are currently staying with their grandmother in a comfortable apartment. It turned out that when the guardianship and the police arrived to take the brothers to the social rehabilitation center in Vsevolozhsk, the woman refused to give the boys back. At the same time, the family is now placed under special control: custody staff will regularly check the conditions in which the babies are kept.

It is known that the eldest of the brothers is completely healthy and goes to elementary school. The average child born to a surrogate mother has a developmental delay and disability. He doesn't speak or understand speech, and he doesn't practice anywhere. The youngest of the brothers is at home — they are not going to send him to kindergarten.
