The mother of a third-grade student from Tashkent, who is in intensive care after swallowing a bracelet, has complained about the actions of investigators. Video

The mother of a third-grade student, who ended up in intensive care after older students forced him to swallow a metal bracelet, has reported inappropriate behavior by officers of the Yashnabad District Department of Internal Affairs. According to the woman, the law enforcement officers refused to clearly identify themselves and sharply demanded that she immediately hand over an unfinished statement.

The law enforcement officers came directly to the department where the boy is being kept. According to the mother, they showed their official IDs only to her husband and for just a few seconds, without stating their first and last names.

The woman was then taken to the reception ward, where she was asked to write an explanation. She began filling out the document, but due to her child's serious condition and severe stress, she could not concentrate in the noisy room, which was filled with other patients, parents, and doctors. The mother asked for permission to continue writing in the ward or another quiet place where she could detail all the circumstances of the incident. However, when the woman refused to hand over the unfinished document, the investigators, according to her, began to insistently demand it.

Following this, the mother stated that she wanted to consult with a lawyer first and communicate with the law enforcement officers only in their presence in the future. In response, according to the woman, the officers suggested she find a lawyer and come to the department with them. The woman explained that she could not leave the hospital because her child was in intensive care. According to her, the conversation then escalated to raised voices, and the officers suggested she tear up the document. In the end, the woman tore up the unfinished statement in their presence.

Before they left, she again asked the officers to identify themselves. One of them, as the mother claims, replied: "We don't have last names," after which the officers left the hospital. The woman managed to record part of the conversation on video. In the published fragment, she asks the departing officers to identify themselves, but judging by the recording, she does not receive a clear answer.

Currently, the woman is looking for independent lawyers who can advise her and accompany her during further interactions with law enforcement agencies.

In Tashkent, a third-grade student ended up in intensive care after older students forced him to swallow a metal bracelet. The child required complex surgery. The situation has been taken under control by the Children's Ombudsman and law enforcement agencies.
