In Krasnoyarsk, law enforcement officers detained a 53-year-old woman who beat her granddaughter in an elevator. Now she is in a temporary detention center, the issue of choosing a preventive measure is being decided, RT told the regional department of the investigative committee.

I didn’t control myself

Earlier, a video from a surveillance camera posted in the elevator of an apartment building in Krasnoyarsk was published on social networks. On the record you can see how a woman takes a young girl into an elevator, and then several times severely hits her on the head so that she falls.

A resident of the house where the incident occurred, Natalia Osipenko said that in the evening of June 14 she heard a child cry in the corridor. According to her, the residents of the house, when they saw the video from the surveillance camera, immediately turned to the police. 

“I went to take out the trash. Leaving the apartment, I heard a baby cry, but did not have time to go into the elevator - he left. There were blows in the elevator car, as if someone was hitting the wall, and then the crying stopped. Just five minutes later, the chairman of our house sent me a video from a surveillance camera. We did not know this woman, so we decided to post the video on social networks and call the police to search for her, ”Osipenko told RT Ruptly video agency.

Police and TFR began checking on this fact. A criminal case of beatings was instituted (Article 116 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Soon, law enforcement officers found the suspect.

According to RT in the regional investigation department, the woman’s identity was established and she was detained. 

As the investigators found out, the woman turned out to be the grandmother of the battered girl. According to law enforcement authorities, on the evening of June 14, a woman, along with her three-year-old granddaughter, came to visit a friend. About 23 hours they were going to go home, but the girl began to act up. An annoyed woman hit her granddaughter three times on the head, which caused her to fall. Doctors recorded a bruise on the child’s face.

“At present, the suspect has been detained and is being held at the temporary detention center, the issue of choosing a preventive measure is being decided. The criminal investigation is ongoing, ”Olga Shamanskaya, a representative of the regional investigation department, said in an interview with RT.

The department added that now the family is working with the juvenile police department, the issue of registering it is being decided.

The detainee at the polls fully admitted her guilt and stated that she repents of her deed. According to her, she called her daughter, the girl’s mother, and told about everything as soon as she saw a video from the elevator on the Internet.

"We were in house of our mates. We went into the elevator. She threw a little tantrum there, did not calm down. I don’t know how I reacted, it’s just ... I lost control of myself, of course, I hit her. Two times or three happened. Of course, I repent of this. This was the first and last time in my life that’s it, ”the woman said. The survey video was published by TFR.

The prosecutor’s office of the Krasnoyarsk Territory organized a check after a beaten video appeared on the network.

“In addition, the department will examine the situation in the family, the living conditions of the girl and find out the reasons that led to the beatings,” Olga Gaiduk, representative of the regional prosecutor’s office, told RT.

Wealthy family

RT sources in the Central Internal Affairs Directorate in the Krasnoyarsk Territory said that earlier the family was considered prosperous and had not previously come into the view of law enforcement agencies.

RT managed to find in the social networks of the girl’s parents. Her mother’s number was not available, and her father refused to comment on the situation.

“We have a normal family situation,” he told RT. - We are fine. I earn normally to pay for everything. Thank".

For what exactly he wants to pay, the man did not specify.

Judging by the photos on the page of the girl’s parents, there is another child in the family. On his page in social networks, the father of the family publishes photos with his daughters and wife with the signature “My Beauties”, pictures from family holidays and vacations in a ski resort. In one of the photographs there is also the suspect herself in the family circle, which is standing next to the pram.

The Commissioner for the Rights of the Child in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Irina Miroshnikova, said that after the incident, the family will be put on a preventive account.

“The family is prosperous, but what we saw on frames is, of course, monstrous, it’s not a slap or a slap. The family will definitely be put on a preventive account, although there are no complaints about dad and mom. The girl is now with her parents, there is no reason to withdraw her from the family. Parents are not accused of anything, ”the interlocutor explained to RT.

Miroshnikova added that the doctors did not find any other injuries on the girl’s body that would indicate any other beatings.

“Grandmother will be punished, just talking with her is not enough. It is difficult to say what exactly led to this behavior. Perhaps this is disappointment, dissatisfaction with personal life or suppressed aggression. In my opinion, this behavior comes from the experience of raising children, ”said the children's ombudsman.

Yulia Iskrina, a lawyer and family law expert, explained that after registering, social workers will visit the family, monitor the living conditions and upbringing of the child, and they will have preventive conversations with the woman herself.

“Registration of a family will not affect the degree of punishment for those who are found guilty of beatings. The fact that the suspect was not previously seen in child abuse is not a mitigating circumstance in this case, the lawyer said in a conversation with RT. “If the fact of illegal actions is recorded, then there can be no circumstances justifying the ill-treatment in this case.”
