Odessa police officers have drawn up a protocol regarding a man who left his 5-year-old daughter home alone. The incident occurred yesterday evening on Cosmonauts Street. Passersby became interested in the balcony where the girl was located and which was close to the edge, and called the police and rescuers.
Communication with Vladislava
When law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, they established communication with the little Vladislava, asked her to refrain from sudden movements, and carefully return to the apartment. Through the window, the girl threw the keys to the house, which allowed the police to enter.
Legal Action Taken
It turned out that the child lives with her father, who was at work at the time of the incident. The father raises his daughter on his own, as the girl’s mother has been deprived of parental rights. The man had not come to the attention of law enforcement authorities before. He was charged with violating Article 184, Part 1 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses for failing to fulfill obligations regarding providing living conditions, education, and upbringing for the child.
Possible Consequences
The man may receive a warning or a fine ranging from 850 to 1700 hryvnias. The police also offered to help arrange for the daughter to attend a kindergarten to facilitate her upbringing and combine it with work.
