The parents starved the child and kept him in a drawer in the bed.
The incident took place in Ufa. The details were reported by the press service of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Republic of Bashkortostan.
A trial was held in the regional capital, during which a preventive measure was chosen for a local resident.
The mother of an eight-month-old child was sent to jail for attempted murder of the minor.
Law enforcement officers established that between February and October 2024, the arrested woman and her cohabitant starved the boy and kept him in a box from a child's bed.
They left him alone at home for long periods of time. This continued until his grandmother contacted the police.
The child's life is not in danger now. His grandmother has taken him under temporary guardianship. Doctors will also monitor his recovery and development.
Meanwhile, an investigation is underway into the boy's mother.
