Investigators in Kamchatka opened a criminal case into the death of a four-year-old boy who died of exhaustion because his mother went into binge drinking for several months and did not look after him. This was reported by the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia in the Kamchatka Territory.
It is noted that the child suffered from a congenital disease of the mucous membrane of the small intestine and needed a special diet. However, his mother, as the investigators noted, from September to December of this year, abused alcohol and did not show due care and attention to the health of her son, did not ensure that the youngsters followed the necessary diet, which led to the exhaustion of the child and the onset of his death.
A criminal case was initiated under Part 1 of Article 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Causing death by negligence”).
The regional prosecutor's office has also started a check. The department reported that the woman had been observing her son's health deterioration for two weeks, but did not go to the hospital.
