The accused has two daughters and a son in respect of whom she is deprived of parental rights. By the decision of the court, the mother is obliged, in solidarity with the father of the children, to reimburse monthly the costs spent by the state for their maintenance.

In January 2025, the Minsk woman was employed as a locksmith-assembler of household appliances in a private company, but she did not always appear at work, allowing numerous absenteeisms without good reasons, which led to incomplete fulfillment of obligations.

Employees of the enforcement department repeatedly warned her of responsibility. As a result, another criminal case was opened against the citizen.

Guilt in the court hearing, the defendant fully admitted, in what she did sincerely repented.

- The accused is officially employed, has previously been brought to criminal responsibility twice, commented Anna Kostyuchenko, assistant prosecutor of the Moscow district, who acted in the criminal case as a state prosecutor. The court found her guilty of committing a crime under Part 2 of Art. 174 of the Criminal Code ("Deviation of parents from maintaining children or from reimbursement of expenses spent by the state for maintaining children who are or were on state support"), and imposed a punishment of one year of restriction of freedom without sending them to an open-type correctional institution. In addition, the accused must undergo compulsory treatment for chronic alcoholism and drug addiction.

The sentence has not come into force, can be appealed and challenged in accordance with the procedure established by law.
