CCTV footage from a Russian
supermarket shows an elderly lady abandoning her grandson after she
claims she was unable to feed him any longer
Eugene Kapustina,
61, says she was told to look after the boy while his parents left to
find work in another town, but they have been gone for a year without
contacting her
Speaking
to police, she said that all her savings have been used up trying to
pay for herself and the child and added that she can no longer afford to
feed him on her pension.
She
told officers she hoped that somebody at the supermarket in the suburb
of Zelenograd, in the Russian capital Moscow, might take care of him.
Investigators managed to trace the woman using CCTV footage and information from the boy.
Footage
shows the distressed child sitting on the floor by the cash desks where
he was approached by the security guard Ahmed Izmaylov after he noticed
that the child seemed to be unaccompanied.
He
said: 'I approached him and he started to cry and saw that he had a
small bag with a few possessions and a note saying please look after
me.'
The
boy has been placed in a temporary orphanage and police say he will
stay there until they can find his parents. Once they have interviewed
them, a decision can be made on the child's future.
Kapustina says she has spent all of
her money taking care of the boy and cannot feed him any longer. She
says she left him in the supermarket in the hopes that someone would
look after him
Police officers
investigating the crime say they have transferred the six-year-old,
named Vova, to a temporary orphanage while they try to track down his
mother and father
