"Police have sent an indictment to the court against both parents for leaving a newborn child in danger. The defendants face up to three years in prison," the statement said.
The incident occurred in early 2025 in the Obukhiv district.
"A 36-year-old pregnant woman gave birth to a boy without proper sanitary conditions in the house, and a 67-year-old biological father, who was present at the birth, cut the umbilical cord himself. Subsequently, acting in a prior conspiracy, the parents wrapped the newborn in bed linen and placed him in a checkered bag. They took the baby by car to the town of Bohuslav and left him in a helpless, life-threatening condition on the street near a private house," the statement said.
Investigators sent an indictment to the court against the woman (Part 2 of Article 135 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and the man (Part 5 of Article 27, Part 2 of Article 135 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
