On March 23, the premiere of the investigative film "Mom, I've Been Replaced" will take place on REN TV

On March 23, the premiere of the investigative documentary "Mom, I've Been Replaced" will take place on REN TV. Every tenth family in the country can raise someone else's child. Are the many cases of "confused children" fatal coincidences or a global system? Is child substitution an accident, a medical error, or a crime? The authors of the film "Mom, I've been replaced" conducted their own investigation.

Russian courts are full of lawsuits: "they brought up someone else," "criminal negligence," "our family's life has been destroyed." Maternity hospitals do not admit that they substituted babies, it is extremely difficult to get a fine out of them, although some of the characters in the movie "Mom, I was replaced" succeeded. The average amount of compensation for a child who is confused in the hospital is 1 million rubles. But does this amount compensate for the ruined happiness of the family? What if it was a criminal offense? 5 years in prison and the statute of limitations is only 6 years – and you still need to prove the corpus delicti!

Why do they substitute children in maternity hospitals? Could this be an established business? How does the black market of child trafficking work and does it really exist? Can substitute children end up in families that are not eligible for surrogacy? And how much does a healthy alien baby cost?

Viewers will enjoy exclusive interviews with the victims, materials from the courthouse, unique footage of the perpetrators, sensational archival and modern documents – all this in the investigation "Mom, I was replaced."

The film will be broadcast on March 23, at 23.55.
