Two children died in a well near an improvised slide in Mendeleevsk.
On January 4, a tragedy occurred in Mendeleyevsk. The bodies of two small children were found in a well near an unauthorized slide.
According to a preliminary version, the children may have fallen into an uncovered well after sliding down a dangerous makeshift slope. A criminal case for causing death by negligence has been opened by the prosecutor's office. At the same time, an inspection is being carried out regarding local self-government bodies on the issue of eliminating such makeshift structures and maintaining communal infrastructure.
The head of the Mendeleyevsky district, Robert Iskandarov, expressed his deep condolences to the relatives and friends of the deceased, promising the families all necessary support. He ordered a comprehensive inspection of the municipality for such hazardous objects. According to him, any abandoned structures and utilities must be immediately removed or securely fenced off.
This monstrous tragedy is a stark reminder to all parents of the vital necessity of constantly supervising children outdoors.
Please do not leave children unattended, especially near abandoned construction sites, wells, technical facilities and makeshift play areas. Talk to them about the dangers and always check where and how they spend their time.
Children's safety depends above all on our attention and responsibility.
