"I will tell you in secret that I serve in the police because I find this service very important!"

A year in 2015 or 2016 I was driving from work on the subway and in the area of Izmailovo station I got a woman beggar with a child in my eyes - a boy who appeared to be about 8 years old hanging on a woman in a backpack kangaroo, in which only babies are worn. And the boy was hanging like a cloth - the fingers and legs were just chatting in the air. Although the child himself did not sleep and was with half-open eyes, he did not react to the surrounding environment. It was a very strange picture that should have caused some suspicion. But, strangely enough, in the whole wagon nobody even got upset, and many even sympathized with the money.

I have probably seen beggars with children many times before. But I never attached special importance to this - they use their children for money - bad people! And all that, my interest in them disappeared. And here I was just stunned. At that time, I didn’t even know anything about kidnapping children, about pumping them with drugs and alcohol. But when I saw that boy, I just felt terrible anxiety and fear.

After that, starting to be interested in this topic on the Internet, I went to the organization "Search for missing children". From them I learned a lot about the real origin of such babies and their likely future fate.
A few months after that incident in the subway I could not live peacefully. I thought about that child every minute. I was depressed by the thought that a little prisoner was taken a few centimeters away from me and needed help, but I didn’t help. I did not even try to help. I looked at him stupidly, like a sheep from a flock of lambs... I felt involved in this terrible story, and the feeling of guilt did not leave me for a second. And I promised myself that I would never be able to pass by again if I saw something like this.

A few months later, when I was again passing by the subway in the area of Izmailovo station, a man and a woman entered my car, asking for help in their difficult life and give them a piece of bread. They had a three-year-old boy in their hands. He was sleeping. I turned on the camera and followed them, filming them begging. At the station Izmailovo they went out and headed to the exit. I defended them, I ran to the police and asked to inspect these people urgently. I referred to the fact that they were engaged in begging, which is prohibited in the subway, and I have video evidence. I also that I suspect that the child in their hands needs help because it behaves strangely, or maybe it’s not their child at all. In general, everything according to the scheme, as recommended on the site "Search for missing children".

Of course, the policeman walked away from me. According to him, he is responsible for what is happening in the turnikets, not in the cars. And in general, he sees no need to check the documents of those people, as they do not seem suspicious to him. In general, while I was explaining with this donkey, the couple disappeared. I was just shocked that having a chance to save someone’s life, we missed that chance because of a lazy security guard who didn’t care.

Having lost all hope of helping that child, I decided to stay and at least complain to that policeman. I called 112, described the whole situation, the data of the police. In the future, this call decided a lot, because even a simple call to the hotline of the rescue service is a statement that is officially accepted and registered, and from which it is not easy to go away. Then I called the Search for Missing Children, where I was informed about further action.

It wasn’t 5 minutes after my call at 112, as that police officer runs to me and begins to whisper – said, why you called there, why complained, what I had to do in yours, go, the police chief is waiting for you. There, at the station, I was taken to their small police department, where their chief seemed to be sitting. He also began to read about the fact that it is not good to call the rescue service - why, because there are they - brave keepers of order, it was just necessary to approach him personally, and in general they know about the problems with such beggars, but can not influence them, because there is no evidence. That mess lasted for 10 minutes until I stated that I didn’t care and I would write a complaint about them. The headman took a heavy breath, gave me a sheet of pencil, and the one who brought me told me to bring the couple with the child here. And here I just swallowed! You understand, they are police officers, know perfectly what they are and where to look for them. Just this villain whispered about the fact that they are here beggars chasing in the sweat of the face and can not catch, but himself knows who they are and where they live. As soon as they felt the heat in their ass, they instantly found them!

After 10 minutes in front of me in the cage, this couple was sitting with the baby. What I didn’t hear about that night.

There was also an inspector for minors. The couple were taken to the department, the child was taken to the hospital. My mission seems to have been completed, but in the Search for Missing Children I was immediately warned that if I do not appear to the police with a statement after the arrest, the beggar will simply be released, and maybe the child will also be given, and everything will start again. So the next morning I came to the police station and wrote a statement. Then I was called another couple of times for interrogation, identification of criminals (so, probably, this is called). As far as I know, the man was sent to prison, the woman was deported to Ukraine, the child was still in the hospital, because he had a disease.

For me, this story was just a shock. I, a man who had never even seen the police station from the inside, that evening wrote statements, mocked, tried to get justice. And I was most shocked by the hopelessness of this nightmare. When some haters use and kill children for money, while others hide them and hide their ass in every way. There was some ugly feeling in my heart and I don’t even know how to convey it. It is a relief that the case is closed. One stone fell from the soul, but another appeared in the soul. And even harder. My first thought was then to get away from this hideaway and never get wet in it again. I am amazed at how courageous and strong in spirit are those who devote themselves to such a struggle every day. People from the organization "Search for Missing Children" do this every day.
