“Today, the logical decision would be for us to appeal to the Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation regarding this monstrous fact, when an adult man catches up with a small boy in a jeep, puts him on his knees, puts him in a state of deep fright and causes him bodily harm. Our parliamentary request and our demand that there be a legal assessment of this. Society has already given an emotional assessment,” Yarovaya said.
She considers the man’s actions not arbitrariness and tactlessness, but a crime.
“By carrying out even a slight hit on a child, deliberately, he, of course, realized that he was committing a crime and was indifferent to the consequences. Anyone who hits a child understands that they can cause him any degree of bodily harm. Those initial assessments given by the Investigative Committee that this is hooliganism are probably a very soft attitude towards the legal assessment of this situation,” Yarovaya said.
According to its data, over the past 4 years, 82 thousand children in Russia have become victims of various crimes, half of them are minors
We would like to remind you that on March 9 in Priozersk (Lenoblast), two primary schoolchildren were playing on the road, “shooting” from a toy machine gun at passing cars. Suddenly, a man in a black jeep who was passing by turned around and ran over a boy with a backpack. Driver Vladimir Belsky was detained on suspicion of deliberately hitting a young boy and violence against a child, reports the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Leningrad Region.
