Ukraine: 6-year-old boy 'chained up like dog'

A six-year-old boy has been set free after he was left chained “like a dog” by his father.

The child was found on his knees tethered to a door by shocked police in Ukraine.

Officers released harrowing images showing a metal chain wrapped tightly around the boy’s waist.

There was evidence on his body of beatings which the father admitted he inflicted “for educational purposes”, according to Luhansk regional police.

Authorities have now taken the boy away from the home of his father, 36, and stepmother, 27, in the Aidar-Mykolaivka village.

The father is to be “stripped of his parental rights” and faces legal action for child abuse and “torture” with a maximum sentence of five years, say prosecutors.

Police acted after the boy told his friends of the abuse he faced at home.

They informed their parents who called in the police.

The boy is undergoing checks in hospital and is likely to be moved to an orphanage.

“The child will not be returned to this family,” said a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office.

Reports said the child had been removed from the family previously but the father was allowed to take him back from an orphanage after divorcing his wife and setting up home with a new spouse.

What a subhuman animal.
Chain him to a tree.
Then fire shrapnel at him at high speed from a slingshot.
Make it last for days.
Continue til expiry.

OMG, I just want to wrap that boy in bubble wrap and keep him safe and loved forever. Bless his little heart. As for the shitstain that fathered him...5 years is a joke! That bastard should do hard time and never see the light of day. Being chained to a door is the LEAST of what punishment he deserves!
