In the Urals, a four-year-old boy who disappeared in the forest four days ago was found alive. A four-year-old boy was found in the Sverdlovsk region, who was lost in the forest four days ago

07:02 — REGNUM In the Sverdlovsk region, the name of a participant in the search operation became known, who on June 14 found a four-year-old child lost in the forest on June 10 near the Reftinskoye reservoir. They turned out to be a volunteer Pavel Karpenko, reports the correspondent.

“I disobeyed the commander and went to another place altogether. I went out to the hillock and thought that I would receive from the commander for what I had disobeyed, I thought I would get lost myself ... I see a birch tree, I go behind it - there is a child, I was just shaking. I started yelling into the radio that he was here. They began to carry out, evacuate. When the child was found, he did not move, to be honest, I thought he was dead. That's what I said at first into the walkie-talkie. But then I heard a voice, it began to move somehow. And I already felt so good that he was moving. I was waiting for the others, because I was afraid to touch him, maybe he was injured or something. The group has arrived. They gently lifted him up and gave him some water to drink. Examined. Began to evacuate , - said Pavel Karpenko to the asbestos channel Kadr TV.

The boy was evacuated to the road on a stretcher built by rescuers. The father of the child thanked Pavel Karpenko, hugged him and wished the young man good health. According to the rescuer, the child is very strong. Pavel Karpenko said that the boy was found seven and a half kilometers from the place where he was lost, and not every adult can withstand the route without food and water, which the child went through the forest and swamps.

Participants in the rescue operation reported that the child was exhausted and asked for water. Also, according to them, he ate grass to survive and drank water from puddles and swamps. The Sokol volunteer rescue squad found the child, and the Liza Alert squad participated in delivering the child to the road where the ambulance was rushing.

emergency doctor Mikhail Zheleznov said that doctors suspect that the boy has pneumonia, as his lungs are wheezing and breathing complications. The child himself, according to him, was in a stable, adequate condition, he understands everything and is oriented in what is happening. Mikhail Zheleznov said that the child was bitten by ticks, but, according to the parents, was vaccinated against viral encephalitis.

Subsequently, the child was taken to a helicopter, which, with the help of employees of the "disaster medicine", evacuated him to the hospital in the city of Asbest. Then the boy was taken to the CSTO No. 1 in the city of Yekaterinburg. Chief Physician of the Children's Hospital Oleg Averyanov reported that four ticks had been removed from the child and sent to the laboratory. He added that doctors are conducting X-ray studies, taking blood and urine tests of the child. Oleg Averyanov clarified that the boy was hypothermic and stressed, while he talks, but with difficulty. At the moment, the child is in intensive care, but then psychologists will work with him.

“I don’t remember that the child was three or four days old, for four days he was in the forest” - said Oleg Averyanov.

The doctor did not make predictions, but noted that the boy would spend at least a week in the hospital. He also said that the parents would be allowed to see the child.

In the Sverdlovsk region, the search for a four-year-old boy Dima, who got lost in the forest near the Reftinskoye reservoir, ended in success.

Interrupted rest

Last weekend, the child, together with his mother and father, came to nature on the Third River, which flows into the Reftinskoe reservoir. On the boat, the family moved to the other side. The boy's parents pitched a tent in the forest.

The next morning, dad and child went for firewood around nine o'clock in the morning, but the baby was capricious and asked to return to his mother. His father let him go. According to the head of the family, the distance to the mother was only ten meters, so the father had no doubt that the child would find his way. When the parent returned, the boy was not with his mother. Searches on their own yielded no results.

A few hours later, a large-scale operation to search for the child began. It was joined by rescuers from Yekaterinburg and neighboring cities, the police, volunteers from the search teams "Lisa Alert" and "Sokol". In a short period of time, more than five hundred people were connected to the search. They even involved a cynologist with an official search German shepherd named Rex. Divers began to explore the reservoir. The parents explained to the rescuers that the child was not sociable. He will not ask for help. The family is considered prosperous.

Several versions were immediately put forward. The boy went in the opposite direction from his parents and got lost. He could go down to the reservoir and drown. The child was attacked by wild animals. Finally, someone could kidnap the baby.

Soon, an unmanned aerial vehicle of the Russian Emergencies Ministry was delivered to the shore of the Reftinskoye reservoir. With his help, a survey of forest and open areas of the area began. Interestingly, this drone allows you to broadcast the picture online from a height of up to 500 meters.

Meanwhile, the police found out details about the boy's parents. It turned out that the child's mother works as a kindergarten teacher, which Dima went to. The common-law husband has several convictions, including under the articles “Illicit trafficking in weapons” and “Theft”. Their child is common. Parents were tested on a lie detector. The detectives were alarmed by the fact that the mother, having learned about the missing child, after some time left the scene, citing the fact that she was cold. The father remained in place and assisted the police.

There was a possibility that the child drowned, but, fortunately, this information was not confirmed. Photo: www.66.mchs.gov.ru

Traces of children's boots

For the first day after the loss, the rescuers did not manage to find the child. Although the search engines still had a certain “catch”. Rescuers found traces of small children's boots. They broke off at a small swamp.

A group of the most experienced officers of the criminal investigation department left Yekaterinburg in search of the child. The police were led by Colonel Aleksey Iskorenkov. His unit specializes in solving serious and especially serious crimes.

Volunteers, meanwhile, combed the territory of collective gardens, where the child could wander. Loudspeaker communication was used in the work. The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia sent additional forces to the search area - 50 cadets of the Ural Institute of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. During the day, more than 25 square kilometers were examined, divers checked 1,200 square kilometers of the coastal zone of the reservoir.

The Investigative Committee of Russia for the Sverdlovsk Region opened a criminal case under the article "Causing death by negligence." Although there was no evidence of the boy's death, investigators did not rule out the possibility of a tragic outcome.

The aircraft, which was lifted into the air, found traces of moose and a bear. According to experts, a wild animal could not have attacked the child, since quite a long time had passed after the bear left its winter hibernation. Although some experts expressed the opinion that the attack was quite possible, the predator could crush the child and hide it. Active work began in the swamp, where a quadrocopter spotted a bear. Cadets and volunteers continued to explore forest areas. The helicopter of the Ministry of Emergency Situations was not involved in the search, since the dense vegetation of the forest made it much more difficult to search from the air.

Square by square

On the fourth day from the moment of the search, the question arose of connecting the military to the operation. True, the official representative of the Central Military District, Yaroslav Roshchupkin, said that so far they are not planning to involve them in the operation.

A little later it became known that the traces of the child were already found in fifteen different squares in the forest.

“The range of scatter of steps is quite large, this indicates that the boy was trying to find his way out of the forest,” said coordinator of the search team "Lisa Alert" Stanislav Kovalev. - Now, together with the hunters, we are closing square after square, but we have not yet been able to find the child. In total, 150 people participate in the search operation from our search squad. Anyone who wants to join the search can do so. There are practically no restrictions. In addition, I would note that so far none of our volunteers have come across any bears in the forest.”

The fourth day of searching for the missing boy brought no results. More and more people joined the search. In social networks, regular groups of people were formed who were ready to advance to the reservoir from different parts of the region. Those who could not go were ready to provide the searchers with gloves, water and bags.

“We inspected all the squares around the perimeter about five kilometers from the tent where the Peskov family stayed when they arrived on vacation,” Kovalev said. - Now we have already moved away by 7-10 kilometers, in some places we have moved away by 13 kilometers. The area is being combed. We look under every bush, look at every branch, looking for clues. In this matter, there are no trifles. We are expanding every day the territory of the search and really hope that he is alive. Last summer, a child of about the same age, lost in the forest, was found on the seventh day of the search. So this once again confirms that everything is possible in this life.

severe exhaustion

On the morning of June 14, volunteers from the Sokol search squad found the child under the power line, seven kilometers from the tent from which he had left. The boy was diagnosed with severe hypothermia and exhaustion. He was urgently evacuated to the Asbest hospital.

“Today there was perhaps the most important news in recent days,” said Head of the Press Service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Sverdlovsk Region Valery Gorelykh. - In the morning, one of the groups found a boy lying under the power line near the swamp, where the boy's footprints were previously found. He is alive and exhausted. Now the police and the Ministry of Emergency Situations are deciding whether to evacuate him by helicopter.”

“A team of children's resuscitation of the disaster medicine center went to the place,” said Press Secretary of the Ministry of Health for the Sverdlovsk Region Konstantin Shestakov. - After a detailed examination of the child, a decision will be made on his possible evacuation to Yekaterinburg. Either to the regional hospital No. 1, or to the city hospital No. 9.

The regional investigative committee reported that, as part of the previously initiated criminal case under the article “Causing death by negligence,” they would look for signs of another crime. If they are discovered, a new case will be initiated.

Little Dima, who disappeared at the Reftinsky reservoir on Saturday, June 10, was found alive, according to the Sokol and Liza Alert search teams.

- CHILD FOUND! ALIVE!! Thank you all for your help, we couldn't have done it without you. The boy was found 7 km from the headquarters. His condition is serious, now he is being evacuated from the place, - they wrote in the detachment.

The information was confirmed by the Sverdlovsk police and the Investigative Committee of the TFR.

- Today, during the search activities at the place of the possible location of the child, one of the search groups found 4-year-old Dima. It was found in the area of ​​power lines, not far from the swamp. The boy is in an exhausted state, the issue of evacuating the child by helicopter is now being resolved, - Valery Gorelykh, press secretary of the department, told E1.RU.

The baby was brought to the Asbest hospital, where he was given first aid, and then taken by helicopter to Yekaterinburg. We are live streaming the rescue of the boy.

The boy's father is now on his way to the place where the child was found.

“I’ll hug him now, and then I’ll thank everyone who participated in the search!” Thank you all very much,” Andrey Peskov said.

The regional Ministry of Health reported that Dima would be taken to the Asbest hospital by ambulance. The children's resuscitation team of the Disaster Medicine Center went there. Doctors will decide whether they will provide medical assistance to the boy on the spot or whether he needs to be transported to one of the hospitals in Yekaterinburg.

“So far, all that is known is that the condition is serious,” said Konstantin Shestakov, spokesman for the Ministry of Health. - This, of course, is not surprising. But the doctors have not examined him yet, so all the details later.

Dima Peskov was found 7 km from his parents' tent.

Eyewitnesses report that an ambulance arrived in the forest where Dima was found.

Dozens of people meet Dima, thousands more are happy for him on social networks.

Baby Dima was brought by helicopter to Yekaterinburg.

Dima was carried in his arms from the helicopter to the resuscitation vehicle. He is conscious.

Dima was taken away in an intensive care vehicle with flashing lights and special signals on to the 9th Children's Hospital. He will have to drive through traffic jams for another 25-30 minutes.

The regional Ministry of Health reported that Dima was already in the emergency room of the CSTO No. 1. They decided not to take him to the 9th hospital.

Psychologist Anna Kiryanova spoke about the situation with the lost Dima on her Facebook page:

"The boy was found on the fifth day.

Found good people, thanks to them. May the boy recover, and those who saved be happy and healthy always, all their lives; and don't let your kids go. Don't lose sight of it. Children disappear instantly, in a second - he was there, now he is not! And there are a lot of evil people with sweets and kittens - and I personally don't give a damn - sorry for being rude - on the advice to "let one go", "accustom to independence", "unhook from your skirt". Let them teach and unhook their own, although it would not be necessary either. A child is a child; He didn't even have a fully developed brain, you know? And the fact that he judiciously promises not to trust anyone else or not to open the door means absolutely nothing. And most of the children who reasonably explained that it was impossible to leave with strangers, left with strangers - this was such an experiment. Because kids are gullible. And they can simply get lost and disappear - they are poorly oriented, children. And they can step under the car, looking at something. Well, let them accuse me of hyperprotection - this is nothing. In the wrong advice - and this is nothing. The safety of the child is what matters. And irresponsible advice - the advice of those who never lived on the outskirts of an industrial city; I have never been in the Ural forest or in our village. Lead the child by the hand as long as you can. Don't let go if you can. And a hundred times check those to whom you trust the child. And you can scold me for unprofessional advice - I'm a mother. And I love children. More than those who accustom them to misunderstood independence. And he lets go to the store across the street at the age of five. Or with pies to grandmother through a terrible forest ... "

At that moment, Dima Peskov was examined by the chief physician of the CSTO No. 1, Oleg Averyanov. The child is now in the department of anesthesiology and resuscitation. After the examination, the doctors will talk about his condition.

Dima is now being examined by doctors from the Regional Children's Clinical Hospital No. 1.

The chief physician of the CSTO No. 1, Oleg Averyanov, talks about Dima's condition:

- There is serious hypothermia and severe stress. He talks, but with difficulty. The boy is willing to drink, they put a dropper, we will slowly feed him.

The head physician said that Dima had general hypothermia. He caught a cold at night. The boy was very badly bitten by mosquitoes, especially his face. Also, the face was sunburnt. The head physician of the hospital noted that the boy was saved by the warm jacket he was wearing when he got lost.

“There is a risk of pneumonia and kidney failure,” the doctor added. - We will give the ticks to the laboratory for research, the boy was injected with anti-tick immunoglobulin. We'll see if it freezes or not.

Oleg Averyanov also said that the situation would have been much worse if Dima had not drunk water from swamps and lakes.

At best, Dima will have to spend several days in intensive care.

Dima's father left Asbest for Yekaterinburg - to the hospital to see his son.

By the way, the National Guard reported that all five days radio communication with rescuers, volunteers and employees of the Investigative Committee, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Russian Guard was provided by the company commander of the Asbestov Regional Military District, police lieutenant Dmitry Yazov. Thank you, Dmitry!

The guys from the Sokol rescue squad told how they found the boy - right to the minute. They say that Pavel, who was the first to find little Dima, first transmitted on the radio: "I have a load of 200 here," and after a few seconds he got in touch again and shouted "Alive!"

The Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Sverdlovsk Region reported that active participants in the search operation and volunteer Pavel Karpenko, who discovered the baby, will be presented with medals of the Russian Emergencies Ministry.

Mom and dad Dima Peskov came to the hospital to see their son.

The parents said that they do not yet know what condition their son is in - they have not yet talked with the doctors. Andrey and Alfiya are now heading to the ward for the child.

“He never got lost, he never ran away, I can’t even understand why he ran away,” said Dima’s mother. He never walked alone, only with me by the hand. I have always believed that he is alive. I had the feeling all five days that he was alive.

Parents believe that Dima's self-preservation instinct worked, so he guessed to eat grass and eventually survived. How to act if Dima gets lost, the parents never discussed with him, because they could not even imagine that this would happen.

Parents have not seen Dima since the very morning - from the moment he was taken by helicopter from Asbest and brought to Yekaterinburg.

Poems are already dedicated to little Dima. In the group "People's Television of Asbest" in "Odnoklassniki" they published a poem about saving the boy.

Like the worst dream
There is a picture in the eyes -
Alone in the woods
Swamps impenetrable,
Only the sun was warmed
And with a pure soul
Gone for miles
I was filled with the river.
And quietly falling asleep
A cry flew through the forest:
"He's too small," they shouted
From broadcast screens.
In bottomless despair
In such big eyes
Sorrow and pain splashed,
Life before ... And then fear.
He walked, not knowing the roads,
God willing, go ahead.
Found! Alive! Boy!
Bon Voyage.
Live and make dad happy
And you love mom
And remember that date
When they found you!

And a resident of Yekaterinburg, Olga, even decided to name her son in honor of Pavel Karpenko, a volunteer who found little Dima this morning. She wrote about this on Pasha's VKontakte page.

About how Pasha discovered the boy,.

Our correspondent said that Dima's parents left the hospital. They did not want to communicate with journalists and left through the back door.

A resident of the city of Bor Artur Shtoyan became a real hero - it was he who, after a whole day of searching, found four-year-old Yaroslav Baluev, who was missing in the Nizhny Novgorod forests. He told the correspondent of Komsomolskaya Pravda - Nizhny Novgorod about how this happened.

- We started the search from yesterday evening, by nine o'clock we were in place, and at midnight we were only allowed to look for the child. About two hundred volunteers and volunteers entered the forest, until four in the morning we went around one territory, about two kilometers, and closer to five in the morning we returned to the headquarters. Then reinforcements arrived, they began to look for the child with the help of drones. By about seven o'clock, people from literally all over the country had already begun to come forward to help search. We divided into chains and began combing the forest, but it was all to no avail, ”recalls Artur.

Then the rescuers and the National Guard began to examine this territory. Volunteers without special training were asked to leave the forest for a while so as not to interfere. But Arthur was unable to sit back. Then, with a small company of comrades, he went to the place where the baby was lost in order to inspect the part where they did not have time to visit at night.

- We took the direction to the north-west, walked about two kilometers through the swamp, and went back the other way. And at some point I wanted to call Yaroslav, we began to shout: “Yarik! Yarik! ”, And then a real miracle happened - we heard a thin voice in response. At first they didn't even believe it! And then, twenty meters from us, they saw a boy. Emotions just can not be described in words! Arthur shares. - We ran up to him, wrapped him in our jacket, gave him a dry hat and socks, gave him hot tea with chocolate.

According to the volunteer, Yaroslav looked completely healthy and not even very scared.

“He behaved very well, like a real man,” Arthur admires. - I didn’t cry at all, I just said that they went for mushrooms, and then he got lost. It feels like he didn’t even notice that a whole day had passed - as if he got lost half an hour ago! And most of all, Yaroslav was surprised to learn how many people were looking for him, that even searches were carried out from a helicopter.

According to preliminary data, the child's state of health is quite satisfactory, but he was nevertheless taken by ambulance to the children's regional hospital for examination. After the examination, the doctors will decide whether the boy needs hospitalization.

The family pitched a tent, and the father and son went to fetch firewood. But soon the boy got bored of collecting branches, and he asked his mother. Then his father sent him alone through the woods. According to the man, the baby had to walk only 50 meters in a straight line. But Dima never came out to the tent.

The child was searched for 5 days. About 300 people went out to search. Employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the police even used a drone and a thermal imager. But all was in vain. Rescuers feared that a bear could kill the boy. During the search, volunteers more than once stumbled upon the owner of the taiga. Once the clubfoot even stood on its hind legs, preparing for an attack. And now, when there was no hope left, the child was found alive.

As the volunteers say, the day before, traces of the boy were found in the forest. They were left after the rain - and therefore fresh. They immediately pulled all their forces to the place and began to intensively look for the child.

All the leadership ran to the cars, gathered all the military in buses and left. It was the first time there was such a noise. Fresh footprints were found very close to the place of his loss, the volunteers explain.

As a result, in the morning the boy was found 7 kilometers from the place of his disappearance. The child was lying under a tree. The search engines gasped - the boy is breathing!

I just got a call from a policeman who said that Dima was found in the forest, - Alfiya, the boy's mother, told KP-Yekaterinburg. They said he was alive and well. Which hospital, I don't know, now I'm trying to find him.

Dima was conscious. One of the volunteer groups came across him.

The boy was found near the power line, near the swamps, - adds the head of the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Sverdlovsk Region Valery Gorelykh. - The child is emaciated. Now they are considering the issue of his evacuation by helicopter.

Search chronicle

On Saturday at 09.15, the father returned with firewood, but he did not find his son. Excited parents decided to look for themselves. After an hour of vain searching, they called rescuers and the police.

Around noon on Saturday, June 10, almost 300 people were already pulled into the search area. Among them are rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, police officers, the National Guard and volunteers. The security forces, along with trained dogs, combed the forest meter by meter. A drone with a thermal imager was raised into the air to find any living creature within a radius of five kilometers. Divers examined the bottom of the reservoir. The first day of searching yielded no results.

On Sunday morning, the number of people involved in the search exceeded 1200 people. Land search resumed. By noon, 25 square kilometers of territory had been surveyed. While in vain.

By three o'clock in the afternoon on June 11, the volunteers stumbled upon the first mark from Dima's boot. It was found three kilometers south near a swamp. By evening, a quadcopter found a bear and wild moose in the area.

On Monday morning, the volunteers continued to walk around the forest. The security forces took over the nearby residential area, as well as any holes, collapses of trees and buildings where the baby could hide.

By Monday evening, the fishermen were found, who on Saturday morning noticed the boy in the forest. But then they decided that everything was in order with the child. And he doesn't need help. Dima walked in the opposite direction from his handkerchief.

The fourth day of searching did not give any results either. During this time, the number of volunteers and security forces on the spot has grown to two thousand people. More than 150 square kilometers of forest have been explored. “Until the child is found, we will assume that he is alive,” the rescuers say and continue the search.

Fifth day of searching. In the morning, volunteers found children's footprints left after the rain. All the search engines were pulled to the place and the child was found under a tree. The Volunteers gasped - the child was breathing.
