The police received a submission from the Children's Hospital September 20 about a woman who, against the advice of doctors, took her two children out of the hospital. The children were infected with diphtheria and had been prescribed mandatory hospitalization.
The police have initiated criminal proceedings for the deliberate neglect of persons in need of assistance whose life or health is in danger.
On Saturday the police established the children's whereabouts. The children were taken back to the hospital and the parents have been detained.
It is not specified whether the two children are the sisters of the four-year-old boy who unfortunately died of diphtheria earlier in the week. It is known that three children in the family were hospitalized.
