This terrible incident happened in a little Altai settlement. An inebriated woman left her child alone with no food or water on a chilly porch while she was clothed in drab house clothes. She had disappeared. The neighbor’s dog saved the baby and kept him warm for two days.
Fortunately, a worried neighbor noticed the entire situation and called for help. Despite hypothermia, the baby lived. And his “mother” didn’t come back until the fourth day.
She was deprived of her parental rights and given a 3.5-year prison term in a colony.
