In the Svetlogorsk region, a 26-year-old man is accused of torturing his young son.
According to investigators, from August to October the father beat the boy at least five times. At the same time, the man was drunk.
What was happening became known thanks to the director of the kindergarten. While the children's mother was in the hospital, the father himself brought his five-year-old son there. One day, a woman noticed bruises on her young child's face and decided to check what was going on in the family.
At home it turned out that the one-year-old baby had many bruises on his body. The children were immediately taken from the family: the eldest child was hospitalized in a children's hospital, the youngest was hospitalized in the intensive care unit for observation.
The man was charged under Part 2 of Art. 154 of the Criminal Code of Belarus (torture). He is in custody. The criminal case is being handled by the Sotelgorsk District Department of the Investigative Committee.
