The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that law enforcers started to check a family from Novoshakhtinsk after a seven-year-old girl was hospitalized with injuries and social media reported that the child’s mother was holding the girl on a leash and deprived her of water and drink. The tied girl was found by a female neighbour. On April 3, the court pronounced a decision to detain the girl’s mother and stepfather. According to the investigators’ version, the child was tortured daily.

The Novoshakhtinsk District Court found the girl’s 25-year-old mother guilty of torturing the child and sentenced her to four years in a high-security penal colony. According to the court’s verdict, both the sentenced woman and her husband regularly beat their daughter and tied her hands and feet even for minor offenses.
