According to the Investigative Committee, the media reported that in Moscow a woman left the city and left five children aged 2 to 13 years in a locked apartment for several days. The Office opened a criminal case.

“I took control of the situation with the children whom the mother left alone in the apartment in Cheryomushki,” Yaroslavl told RIA Novosti.

The Moscow Department of Labor and Social Protection said that the family is registered as being in a socially dangerous situation.

Currently, nothing threatens the lives of children, they feel good, the agency writes.

In February, a baby was found in an underground passage near the Victory Park metro station. The Commissioner for the Rights of the Child in Russia, Anna Kuznetsova, said that nothing threatens the boy’s health, but still “he will undergo a comprehensive examination.”

A Moscow court later arrested a woman who left a baby near a metro station.
