"She boiled it in hot water and used a pacifier as a gag": relatives revealed that the abusive mother had mistreated her child before.

In Yekaterinburg, a mother of three beat her one-year-old son. According to "KP-Yekaterinburg", the woman only called an ambulance for the child five days later. Medical professionals diagnosed the boy with a traumatic brain injury and a concussion. He was taken to Children's City Hospital No. 9.

SHE POURED BOILING WATER?

Relatives of the family told "KP-Yekaterinburg" that the mother's behavior had long raised numerous questions. Leyla has three children: the oldest is 3 years old, the middle one is 1 year and 7 months (the boy is currently in the hospital), and the youngest is 7 months old.

According to family members, the children often sustained "spontaneous" injuries within the home.

- The first time, one of her sons ended up in the same hospital with burns on his thighs. At that time, Leyla told the doctors that she had supposedly bathed the child but didn’t notice that the water was too hot, - said the family relative Alina (name changed - Ed. note) to "KP-Yekaterinburg".

Alina also mentioned that Leyla frequently exhibited mood swings. She could argue with her relatives, insulting them. She did not officially register her relationship with her partner.

- Leyla is registered as a single mother to receive benefits for all her children. Her partner works in a transportation company and was respected at his job. On the surface, their family seemed normal. The children looked well-groomed. But it was evident that they were very frightened, - Alina continues.

“HIS ARM HUNG LIKE A BRANCH”

According to the woman, the second time the middle son was injured at home. The parents did not explain to relatives why they could not keep an eye on the children.

- The grandfather came to their home, wanting to take the grandchildren for the weekend. He saw that the child's arm was hanging like a branch. It was dangling. The parents pretended not to see their son's injury. They claimed he was playing with his older brother and fell. Allegedly, the older brother jumped on his arm. The grandfather took the grandson to the hospital himself, - Alina sighs. – We did not raise the alarm, as the older child already attended kindergarten. Their family should have been checked by the authorities.

Additionally, the woman stated that the mother of many children could become nervous and lash out at the kids. Relatives link this to her "dark" past and a criminal conviction for drug possession.

DID SHE USE A PACIFIER AS A GAG?

One of the recent visits by Leyla’s relatives is recalled with horror.

- She knew she was pregnant. She allowed herself to drink wine... What was concerning was that her children had pacifiers tied to their heads, almost like gags. We pointed out that this was not quite right. But Leyla did this intentionally, so the children would be silent and unable to spit it out, - Alina recalls.

The editorial team has access to correspondence in which the mother of many children states that she does not wish to give birth to a boy. In her messages, the woman writes:

- I was originally expecting a girl, not these boys. I had a blood test to determine the gender. If it's another boy, he will die, - the mother wrote in a message.

Currently, according to the woman, the child injured by his mother is in the hospital. He faces a long recovery. The relatives are most afraid that the children will be returned to their mother.

- Right now, her children have been taken to a nursery in Vagonka, as they are registered in Nizhny Tagil. They plan to return them to their parents before the court hearing. This is what angers us the most. She should not be given the babies back! The injured child seems to have regained consciousness, - says Alina.

Let us remind you that authorities have opened a criminal case against the mother under paragraph "b" of part 2 of article 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for "Intentional infliction of serious harm to health, committed against a minor".
