His crime? Throwing rocks at others during a family outing. When they returned to look for him, he was already gone. He was wearing only a T-shirt and jeans, in an area where nighttime temperatures drop to 7°C, surrounded by bears and undergrowth so dense that it took the police nearly a week to find him.
He walked 5.5 kilometers alone to an abandoned military hut. There, he drank water from a tap and slept on some mattresses, with nothing to eat, for 6 full days. Doctors confirmed that he suffered mild hypothermia.
“I have poured all my love into my son,” his father said, visibly remorseful, at a press conference. But the damage had already been done: a punishment that could have cost a 7-year-old child his life. 😔
