Stepfather physically assaults stepson in Vladivostok, using a stick as a weapon.
In a series of disturbing developments, two separate cases of child abuse have been brought to light in the regions of Vladivostok and Primorye, Russia.
The first case involves a 15-year-old boy who was subjected to physical abuse by his 39-year-old stepfather. The incident, which took place in Vladivostok, resulted in the boy experiencing abdominal pain and internal organ injuries. The specifics of the parents' actions are not detailed in the report, but doctors found abdominal injuries and rib fractures on the boy during a medical examination. The criminal case was opened by the Investigative Committee in response to the incident.
The stepfather and mother are now facing charges and potential stripping of their parental rights. The criminal case has resulted in charges being brought against the stepfather and mother, with the prosecutor's office initiating a pre-investigation check and subsequently opening a criminal case. The incident was reported by the Telegram channel Amur Mash.
In a separate case, a 12-year-old boy in Primorye has been suffering abuse at the hands of his mother and stepfather for nearly six years. The details of this case are not fully disclosed, but it is known that the boy sought medical attention after several days of abdominal pain, and doctors found injuries during the examination.
It's important to note that while child abuse and family violence are recognized issues in Russia, specific recent incidents of physical abuse by guardians or step-parents in Vladivostok, Kamchatka, and Primorye are not documented in the available public reports from 2025. For precise regional case data, local law enforcement or child protection agencies’ reports would need to be consulted directly.
The surge in overall crime in Russia, with over 27,000 crimes registered during the first half of 2025, suggests increasing domestic crime rates that may include family violence, though types are unspecified. However, data on family violence crimes against children in Russia up to 2021 does not provide recent or region-specific case details for Vladivostok, Kamchatka, or Primorye.
These cases serve as a grim reminder of the ongoing issue of child abuse and the importance of reporting such incidents to ensure the safety and well-being of children. If you suspect a child is being abused, please reach out to local law enforcement or child protection agencies for assistance.
- The disturbing child abuse cases in Vladivostok and Primorye, Russia, underscore the broad scope of general-news issues that encompass crime and justice, including family violence.
- Despite the surge in overall crime rates in Russia, recent specific incidents of child abuse by guardians or step-parents, such as the cases in Vladivostok and Primorye, are not comprehensively documented in the available public reports, emphasizing the need for increased awareness and reporting to protect children.
