Details
According to the prosecutor's office, the incident occurred on the evening of March 2, 2026. As the pre-trial investigation established, the man inflicted numerous blows with his hands and feet to the head and torso of the 10-year-old boy. The child lost consciousness, after which the father called an ambulance. Doctors, assessing the boy's condition, immediately contacted the police.
According to Yulia Rebryk, head of the Hlobyne District Prosecutor's Office, the child's eating of sweets was the cause of the aggression.
But such behavior should in no way be a reason for violence against a child. All circumstances of the crime will be established during the pre-trial investigation. At the same time, the guardianship and trusteeship authorities have already filed a lawsuit with the court to deprive the couple of parental rights.
A pre-trial investigation is currently underway under Part 1 of Article 121 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Procedural guidance is provided by juvenile prosecutors. The boy is in serious condition in the hospital, and the suspect has been taken into custody.
