Yekaterinburg resident Natalia L. found a little girl in the courtyard of her home. She was sitting alone, with no one around. The toddler had a scarf around her neck that is worn by pupils of a private kindergarten located in a high-rise building. Only by this sign did the woman understand where the child came from.

«They forgot to pick the child up from the walk. I was shaking all over at that moment. Thankfully, the little girl was calm and didn»t cry,« Natalia told our colleagues from E1.RU. »I took her by the hand, and we quietly went to the kindergarten. They opened the door for me with the words «Oh my God,» snatched the child from me sharply, and then closed the door; I didn«t even have time to say anything.»

According to the woman, when she brought the child, the other children had already undressed and entered the group, and no one was even looking for the little girl. Natalia reported what happened to journalists so that the girl«s parents would learn about it. The woman is sure that they should be aware that their child was in great danger due to the negligence of the people they pay. She is convinced that the kindergarten will try to hide this incident from them.

Journalists reached out for comment to this private kindergarten.

«All our children are in place, everyone has entered the group,» the kindergarten reported. «We might have just been coming in from the street at that moment.»
