A family from Ingushetia who abandoned a child in Moscow is considered dysfunctional

A family from Ingushetia, which, according to regional children's ombudsman Zarema Chakhkieva, abandoned their sick baby in a hospital in Moscow and spent the money collected for his treatment, is considered dysfunctional, law enforcement agencies in the region told RIA Novosti.

On Monday, Zarema Chakhkieva reported that a seriously ill baby, who is not even a month old, thanks to the support of charitable foundations, managed to get into one of the Moscow hospitals. The funds paid for tickets and accommodation, and the Ministry of Health of Ingushetia helped take the child for treatment. However, his parents refused to accompany him, and the funds that the foundation collected and donated were spent for their own purposes.

“According to available data, this family is characterized as dysfunctional,” the agency’s interlocutor said.
