October 14, 2015 agencyL!fe78 reported about the death of an illegally seized 5-month-old child from the Nazarov family of migrants living in St. Petersburg. The child's mother's registration has expired. For some reason they refused to hand over the baby to the grandmother, whose registration was all right. The child died in a rehabilitation center in the morning next day. Preliminary diagnosis of sudden death syndrome.
It’s very difficult to write about this. Watching a video of a young mother and grandmother being killed is another ordeal. And all this is especially difficult, since the practice of helping families whose children were illegally taken away showed that the occurrence of such a case is a matter of time.
For a small child, separation from his mother is a terrible blow. He has no sense of time, you can’t explain to him that this is not forever. This is perceived by the child as something irreversible. The diagnosis of “sudden death syndrome” is, strictly speaking, not a diagnosis, but a statement that the child died for an unknown reason. Plus, this is the pre-opening version. A child without mother's supervision could die for completely physiological reasons. For example, when regurgitating, he could choke. And if you consider that it was not his mother who fed him, who knows how much, how and when to give the child, but a nurse according to the norm, then they could easily overfeed the child. From my own experience, I know that children can very rarely eat the amount indicated on the bottle of formula, or even the amount accepted by doctors. October 16 already report that the child may have died from an acute respiratory infection. This is under full medical supervision.
In any case, it is obvious that the child's basic need is for a mother. Only the mother watches the child around the clock, only she knows what he needs, only the mother loves him. And such a measure as taking a child away from its mother should be used only in desperate situations that threaten the health and life of the child. However, this is exactly what is written in the laws.
And now, why did everyone involved in the topic of illegal removal of children pray intensely that this would not happen? Because it was already crawling up, stretching out its gnarled paws and really wanted to come true, but could not.
I mean the Vorotyntsev case, about which mentioned as one of the most memorable lawyer Lyudmila Nikolaevna Vinogradova onII Congress of the RVS in July of this year:
“That case of the Vorotyntsevs... We especially remember it because a small child who suffered as a result of unlawful actions of the police - a cheerful, cheerful boy Vityushka - was seized cheerful and healthy, and returned sick and gray. The picture was depressing...”
And the details of the case are as follows. A young mother living with her mother in a one-room apartment left her 9-month-old baby with his grandmother while she went to apply for college. At that moment, the grandmother was urgently called to work. In order not to leave the child alone, she asked family friends to sit with him - a married couple whom she had known for more than 30 years. In the absence of the grandmother, the police burst into the apartment and beat the child away from his nannies. They did not give any documents, and they refused to hand over the child to the grandmother who called immediately. A child without health problems was placed in a special institution for children with organic damage to the central nervous system. In this institution, the child contracted bronchitis and an intestinal infection. And it was great happiness that he was rescued from there in two weeks, after which he had to be treated for a month and psychologically rehabilitated for several months. child on this moment healthy, lives with his mother, but only because not only his mother and grandmother, but also about 15 activists, including experienced lawyers, were running around this case.
How many more cases are unknown to us? After all, journalists do not always cover such incidents. And victims do not always turn to family protection organizations.
But even in the case described above, when Vitya Vorotyntsev managed to return his mother, the police who actually stole the child remained unpunished. And for kidnapping, there is actually criminal liability. Moreover, if these are government people who are supposed to protect children.
Will those responsible for illegally taking a child be punished this time? The question is still open.
The autopsy results have not yet been released. But the mother of the deceased baby has already
From a letter from Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) to the writer Alexander Lazarev-Gruzinsky dated November 1, 1889. In the original: You cannot put a loaded gun on stage if no one intends to shoot it. The meaning of the expression: in a work of art, all the details should work towards its main idea, there should be nothing random in it.
If an electrician lies motionless on the stage, it means that he has either been seriously electrocuted, or he will soon be fired.
…
But no matter how he lies, let’s start from the fact that if his posture is harmonious, his arms and legs are in place, that is, in accordance with the thesis that everything in a person should be beautiful, then what complaints can there be?
But even if something is not beautiful, it would also be wrong for us to evaluate the unnecessary presence of an electrician on stage based on anthropomorphism or, worse, an assessment of his moral character. After all, it is quite likely that during the performance some light bulb will suddenly go out - what then? Then the need to replace it will entail the need for an electrician. And as we have already noticed, he is already on stage.
Therefore, his presence there, following the example of A.P. Chekhov, should be interpreted as follows: If an electrician lies motionless on the stage, it means that the light bulb will soon burn out.

From the author's bookWhy does a “good” cowboy manage to shoot first? There is a well-known story about the great Danish physicist Niels Bohr. He loved to tinker with students, played sports with them, mountaineering, etc. One day they were discussing Westerns, and the graduate students began to laugh: like this
These are troubling times and every self-respecting head of family and homeowner is thinking about self-defense. The optimal method for solving the problem is purchasing and storing a house firearms. Unfortunately, there is no question of legally purchasing a pistol in our country, and traumatic and gas pistols Not suitable for self-defense at all. Rifled hunting weapon(carbines) are certainly cool, but why such an effective range? If you hit someone at a distance of 500m, you will never prove that you were defending yourself, but rather the opposite. That leaves smoothbore, namely pump-action and semi-automatic 12-gauge shotguns. Sighting range allows you to completely cover the size of your house and garden, and the firepower (up to about four kilograms of lead per minute) can stop all, even the most incredible, dangers (an attack by a pack of bears in body armor).
So, our householder chose a gun, collected money, issued a permit, bought it, disassembled/assembled, lubricated and…. put it in the safe. And he began to imagine how they were attacking him, and he was shooting back, they were attacking him from the other side, and he was shooting back, etc. and so on. Every man is a boy who didn’t play enough of “war” as a child.
What happened on the subtle plane? And the classic scenario happened: “If in the first act there is a gun hanging on the wall, then in the third...”. But this is in the theater. Isn’t life a theater? Psychologists have long noticed this pattern. For example, as soon as a person begins to carry a weapon, sooner or later there inevitably comes a time when he has to use it. They explain it in their own way, but you and I know that it was Intention that turned on. In other words, our law-abiding householder filed a subtle “application for attack.” And if this application is supported, and especially if this application for an “attack” was simultaneously submitted by criminals for the purpose of robbery and penitentiary prosecutors in order to rob the participants in the case, then the likelihood of “satisfying” such an application increases sharply.
What to do? The solution has long been found - this is to purchase weapons not for the purpose of self-defense. Until recently, the only such “peaceful” purpose was hunting. But this is not modern. Firstly, you need to protect nature and not spoil your karma by killing animals, and secondly, it is not accepted and even forbidden to go hunting with a semi-automatic gun with a magazine capacity of a dozen rounds.
There is another way out - shooting sport. Recently, several sports based on firearms, which are allowed for legal purchase, have developed. One of the most advanced - Practical Shooting.
But it's better to see it once:
I would like to add that this sport can be practiced by men and women at any age, this sport (especially the gun) is quite inexpensive, there are clubs in all major cities, most club members do not go there for the sake of sporting achievements, but for entertainment and male communication (as well as for hunting). Competing in this sport is not a grueling marathon, but pure pleasure.
And most importantly, the formula changes: “If there’s a gun hanging on the wall, then... there’s training on Sunday.”.
