A 15-year-old student was severely beaten by a 17-year-old third-year student who demanded money. The victim spent a week in intensive care with serious injuries, and the police opened a criminal investigation.
A freshman was brutally beaten by a third-year student in the dormitory of Khmelnytsky Higher Vocational School No. 11. The victim spent almost a week in intensive care. The police opened a criminal investigation, reports UNN with reference to vsim.ua.
The mother of the victim, 15-year-old Denis Melnyk, told the media that her son's problems began right from the beginning of the school year.
According to her, one day her son called her and asked her to urgently send money - that's when she realized that Denys was being bullied. The mother points to a 17-year-old third-year student, Bohdan. As her son later admitted to her, the boy was constantly attacking him: beating him, throwing things around, and regularly demanding money.
When this was discovered, Denis was transferred to another room. However, this did not stop. At half past 12 at night, on October 2, the son called his mother again. And once again he asked for money. However, no matter how many times the woman called, Denys did not pick up the phone. He only sent a message: “I was beaten, they demand two hundred hryvnias.” When the woman could not reach her child, she called the police.
The boy was hospitalized at the Khmelnytsky City Children's Hospital. Until yesterday, October 8, he was in intensive care.
“He was transferred from the intensive care unit, but he is not allowed to return or move because he has a ruptured spleen, hemorrhage - a cyst formed on the spleen, kidney damage, changes in the lungs, fluid in the lungs - it is difficult for him to breathe. His head was also bruised, he was blue all over: head, chest, concussion,” the woman said.
Director of the Khmelnytsky City Children's Hospital Natalia Zymak-Zakutnya told the media that his condition is stable and serious.
