12 years of life in a constrained space

This morning, Milkmaid Lyubov Mikhalitsyna, a resident of the village of Alexandrowskoy in the Kirov region in Russia, did not appear to work. Colleagues were not particularly surprised: the woman did not lead the most exemplary lifestyle.

But when she did not appear in the next shift, Milkmaids worried and decided to check Lyuba. The door to the house of Mikhalitsyna was open, and the woman herself lay on the floor without signs of life.

Women called the police. When a district policeman examined the room, he heard a movement in the corner, fenced with a veil. What is this? Cat, rats?

But on the stove, huddled in the corner and looking around in fear, like a wild animal, a girl was sitting – a disheveled, dressed in shreds not for her age. But Mikhalitsyna didn't have children. So whose child is this?

After a closer study, the girl turned out to be quite an adult, a period of puberty. And she was really the daughter of Lyubów.

Mikhalitsyna, fearing the condemnation of other villagers, gave birth to a girl at home. She did not call the doctors, she did not register the child. And as a cradle, and then as a place to live, she determined the chest for her.

The daughter lived in this chest. Sometimes her mother allowed her to go to the “big world” to eat and relax.

Due to the determined position of the body, the child's skeleton was deformed, the limbs did not grow. The height at the age of 12 did not exceed 60 cm. The girl was sent to a psycho -urological boarding school, where she almost did not get used to the company of other people. She didn't see other people except his mother.

The teenager did not know about normal food. As well as basic hygiene rules. The girl had no name. And Masha called her the school's school staff.

Initially, Masha did not even talk to staff and other patients. He just scolded. Apparently it was the only vocabulary used by the mother.

Masha is now 45 years elderly. He doesn't remember terrible childhood or try not to remember. Institution psychologists believe that in this way a self -defense mechanism was activated.

Despite health problems, a woman tries not to lose her heart and make friends with other patients.

The saddest thing in history is that the mother actually broke the child's life only because she was afraid of public opinion and censorship of her villages.
