AN eight-year-old boy leapt to his death from a ninth floor flat after suffering years of beatings and abuse from his parents, it has been reported.
The youngster took his own life after his family returned to their flat and his parents started yelling at their son for damaging his clothes.
Zhanna, a woman living downstairs, told local media: “The parents yelled at the boy for ripping his clothes. I also heard them beating him.
“Then everything went quiet and I heard the child’s quick footsteps. Several seconds passed and there was that horrific thud when a body hits the ground.
“I looked out of my kitchen window and saw the boy lying below. I called an ambulance and the police.”
According to local media reports, the suspects confessed to beating their son and said that “he jumped out of his room window right after the abuse”.
They also said they regularly beat up their son for “misbehaving” and now face up to five years in prison if found guilty.
Anton’s school principal Oksana Zelenska claimed the youngster's parents neglected him.
“The boy fell behind at school and we had to hold him back in first grade. His parents were not interested in him at all.”
