The article describes a tragic incident involving a child«s death and a father»s grief.

A shocking incident occurred in Tolyatti. In the evening, on the territory of a resource-supplying enterprise, a 58-year-old private security officer saw a 10-year-old boy climbing over a fence, grabbed him, and sharply pulled him toward himself. The child impaled himself on metal rods, sustained severe injuries, and died in the hospital the following day.

A TOLYATTY.ru correspondent spoke with the child«s father. Here are five quotes from Mikhail of Tolyatti.

The phone rang. I heard my son«s alarmed voice: »Dad, I«m in trouble. I think I broke my leg.»

  • He lay covered in blood, vomiting blood. I asked that man whether an ambulance had been called. He replied: «No, let»s call one.«

  • At night, a doctor came out to my wife and me and said the surgery was complete but did not say it was «successful.» In the morning, we got a call that our son had died. Later, the surgeon admitted that time had been lost.

  • All the while I was searching for my son and calling him, that man kept his phone. He saw that his father was calling but never answered.

  • There are all signs of deliberate murder. He had threatened children beforehand, saying he would kill them. According to eyewitnesses, when he ran out to the boys, he shouted loudly: «I»ll kill you, you bastards!«

    The child was buried at Banykin Cemetery. The full text with the father«s monologue is in our article.
