Law enforcement officers of the Novgorod region organized a search for the missing one-year-old girl

"In the Novgorod region, investigators are establishing the circumstances of the child's disappearance," the agency's website said in a statement.

A criminal case has been initiated under the article on the murder of a minor.

Earlier in the Altai Territory, a criminal case was opened against parents who kicked out their five-year-old son without clothes in the cold.
