Homeless Dagestan teenager kidnapped from Moscow hospital

On October 29, a source from law enforcement bodies reported that employees of the Moscow GUVD were searching a teenager of 14, kidnapped from the reception ward of the Morozov Children's Hospital.

"A patrol crew of the on duty unit of the 'Kitai-Gorod' RUVD (District Interior Department) picked up a homeless Dagestan boy eight from the street with symptoms of strong cold. It is not excluded that he had strong flu. After a while, three men appeared at the militia station and demanded to give the teenager out to them, as they allegedly were his relatives," said the source.

The "Interfax" reports with reference to the source that the men could not present any documents to confirm the fact.

According to the "Vesti.ru", militiamen refused to give the boy to the men and decided, in view of his health condition, to hospitalize the teenager. They brought the boy to the Morozov Children's Hospital and left him in the reception ward. However, after a while, the above three men appeared at the hospital and under a threat of a knife forced the boy away and disappeared.
