What is a mother? Aunt Molly’s open letter in defense of the children

Aunt Molly last summer with Sara, and her little cousin, Zoe, who adores and misses her

English version of Molly’s letter, published in the Corriere Fiorentino newspaper. Original in Italian is below.

Indifference, and Judicial System Without Humanity

Dear Director [of Corriere Fiorentino],

What is a mother? A mother is a person in that she is a vessel of diverse experiences – some even contradictory – including pain and pleasure, thoughts, hopes and prejudices, desires, or even self- love and hatred for others. What happens when this delicate balance is thrown off and the suffering of a psychiatric illness turns her world inside out and in doing so drags her children along with her? What happens when the mother, in this state of devastation, purports to be the owner of her own children and the fortress/prison that encloses them? What happens when all of her fears and her obsessions become the only walls of the world in which her children must remain?

In fleeing to Russia, her native country, Marianne Grin took her four children with her without worrying about their scholastic needs, their health, or their friends and family. It’s not just their father who is missing them, but also their uncles and aunt, their grandparents and their cousin. She took them with her, considering them objects that she possesses. And that is just how she treated them. When they were too burdensome for her she placed them in institutes and orphanages of Ultra-Orthodox Judaism to then be able to take them out when it was convenient for her in order to use them as weapons in the war waged against her husband.

Can a mother directly inject the poison of her insanity into the minds of her children and taint their entire future lives and imprint their psyches with the wounds of a suffering that is not even their own? In Italy you can, thanks to the complacent indifference of those who are supposed to be ordered by the law to prevent it.

The judicial authorities wipe their hands clean just like Pontius Pilate. In fact, they are the ones whose negligence and logically incoherent decisions permitted Marianne’s escape. And now they continue to take their time, and lose time, demonstrating supreme indifference towards the irremediable damage that their attitude will produce in the lives of these four children.

Bureaucracy has its timetable they say. And I respond to this that the “banality of evil” – as Hannah Arendt tells us – appears to present itself in the public institutions of every country involved here, Italy, Russia and the United States of America, and also in the religious institutions that Marianne used to her advantage.

Too many times we have been told by public officials and representative of religious communities that these are family problems that they can do nothing about. But I want to remind you here that if Marianne Grin fled to Russia illegally it is because of the unorganized Italian judicial system that gave her access to the children when they had a warning by the father’s lawyer with concerns about a potential attempt to flee, and it is the fault of a shameful complicity of a group of religious figures.

And if the children are still in Russia it is a because of the usual Italian justice system (it took 7 months to write one document – without effective consequences – where the Italian police are ordered to search for the children in Italy and in Russia); it is because of the Russian justice system that so far refuses to recognize the exclusive parental custody decision of the Italian court to the father; it is because of the absence of the direct involvement of all of the governments involved here, whether Italian, Russian or American, that simply demonstrate indifference regarding my niece and nephews, dual American and Russian citizens, born and raised in Italy, all of them legal residents in Italy, 3 of them born in Italy, but in fact, all Stateless and currently citizens of a No Man’s Land. And each of these public officials – who all speak different languages – says the same thing: we understand your pain, but we have to do our job.

With this letter I am addressing all of the authorities responsible here: Italian, Russian and American, is it really impossible to reconcile the timetables of bureaucracy and legal administration with that of the saving of the life of a human being?

L’INDIFFERENZA
E QUESTA GIUSTIZIA
SENZA UMANITÀ

Caro direttore, che cos’è una madre?

Una madre è una persona che, in quanto tale, è un contenitore di esperienze diverse e anche contraddittorie, di dolori e di piaceri, di pensieri, di speranze di pregiudizi, di desideri, di amore di sé, di odio per gli altri. Che cosa succede quando questo delicato equilibrio è turbato e il dolore — quello di una malattia psichiatrica — travolge una madre e con essa i suoi figli?

Che cosa succede quando la madre, in questo stato di devastazione, pretende di essere la proprietaria dei propri bambini, la fortezza carcere dentro cui chiuderli, con la scusa di proteggerli dal mondo? Che cosa succede quando tutte le sue paure, le sue ossessioni diventano le uniche pareti del mondo dentro cui i bambini devono stare?

Con questa fuga in Russia, il suo Paese nativo, Marianne si è portata dietro i suoi figli, senza preoccuparsi della loro esigenze scolastiche, dei problemi di salute, delle relazioni amicali e familiari. Qui non c’è solo il padre ad aspettarli, ma anche gli zii, i nonni, la cuginetta. Se li è portati dietro, considerandoli cose sue. E come tali li ha trattati.

Quando sono stati troppo ingombranti li ha depositati in istituti e orfanotrofi di ebrei ultraortodossi, per poi riprenderli quando le erano utili come armi da usare nella guerra al marito.

Può una madre, impunemente, instillare il veleno della propria follia nella mente dei figli, avvelenare la loro vita futura, marchiandoli con il fuoco di un dolore che non è loro?

In Italia si può, grazie anche alla complice indifferenza di chi invece dovrebbe essere deputato dalla legge ad evitarlo. L’autorità giudiziaria si lava le mani come Ponzio Pilato; eppure è questa che, con le sue negligenze e le sue decisioni logicamente incoerenti, ha permesso a Marianne la fuga. E ora continua a prendere tempo, a perdere tempo, dimostrando suprema indifferenza verso i danni irrimediabili che questo suo atteggiamento produrrà nelle vite dei bambini. La burocrazia ha i suoi tempi, ci dicono.

Ed io rispondo a questo che la «banalità del male» — come ci dice Hannah Arendt — sembra ripresentarsi nelle istituzioni pubbliche di ogni Paese coinvolto, Italia, Russia, Gli Stati Uniti, e anche nelle istituzioni religiose che Marianne ha usato a proprio vantaggio. Troppe volte ci siamo sentiti rispondere da pubblici ufficiali e rappresentanti di comunità religiose che questi sono problemi familiari rispetto ai quali loro non possono fare nulla.

Ma voglio qui ricordare che se Marianne è fuggita in Russia illegalmente è a causa della farraginosa macchina giudiziaria italiana che le ha consegnato i bambini quando a loro era già stato segnalato il pericolo di fuga, e a causa della colpevole complicità di alcuni religiosi. E se i bambini sono ancora in Russia è a causa dei tempi della solita giustizia italiana (7 mesi ci sono voluti per scrivere un documento — senza conseguenze effettive — con il quale si ordina alla polizia di ricercare i bambini in Italia e in Russia).

È a causa della giustizia russa che disconosce la decisione del tribunale italiano dell’affidamento esclusivo dei bambini al padre; è a causa dell’assenza di un intervento diretto dei governi coinvolti, quello italiano, quello russo e quello americano, che mostrano indifferenza sulla sorte dei miei nipoti, cittadini americani e russi, tutti e quattro residenti in Italia, tre di loro nati in Italia, ma di fatto, figli di una terra di nessuno.

E ognuno di questi pubblici ufficiali, che parlano lingue diverse, dicono la stessa cosa: comprendiamo il vostro dolore, ma noi dobbiamo fare il nostro lavoro.

Mi rivolgo a tutte le autorità responsabili qui, italiane, russe e americane: è davvero così impossibile conciliare i tempi dell’amministrazione della giustizia con la salvezza della vita di un essere umano?

Contact!

With the help of a no-nonsense Russian police officer and the attention brought by an investigative Russian journalist, the father was finally able to meet with the older three children earlier this month. The meetings were brief, and raise serious concerns about what the children are living through. That the meetings even took place, however, brought a sigh of relief to family and friends.

As to how this happened, the father asks that we convey his expression of gratitude:

“If a foreign parent ever finds themselves in my same situation in America or Italy, I can only hope that they will be treated with the same dignity, common sense, and intelligence of the Russian police lieutenant called to assist the situation at the children’s school. In five minutes, this single Russian police officer accomplished more for our children than any other high-level authority, institution, or religious official in any of the three countries involved these past several months.”

Developments leading up to the meeting

As reported by Le Iene (A version with English subtitles is available here.  Марианны Гринь – интервью итальянским журналистам русские субтитры), the father learned at the end of April that the children’s mother, Marianne Grin (Марианны Гринь), had removed them from the Chabad-Lubavitch institutions in which they had been living.

The office of the Children’s Ombuds authority for the St Petersburg region confirmed that three of them had been placed by their mother in a public school on the outskirts of the city (their third school change this past year in Russia), and the youngest apparently in a kindergarten in the same area.

Joy but concerns about the children’s future

The father went to the school to try to see the three older children.  A journalist following the case for a St. Petersburg newspaper provided some of the details of the events:

  • Help from Russian police.  It was a cold morning the day the father went to visit the children at the school, but the guards/administrators initially refused let him enter. With the aid of a Russian journalist following the case, the police were called, and a police lieutenant appeared within 30 minutes to ask what the problem was. “This father wants to see his children,” it was explained. “Why are you not letting him?” Asked the lieutenant. “Have his parental rights been suspended? Is he breaking any windows or kicking down doors? He is the father! Why are you treating him this way?”  The school administrators changed their approach and immediately said the father would be able to see the children as soon as the director arrived.
  • School accepts to arrange meetings.  The school director was initially cautious, especially since Grin had put a letter in the children’s file stating that “as the parent with Russian citizenship only the mother can make decisions about who they are able to visit, and that is only the mother and her colleagues.” (The letter does not say who there “colleagues” are.) After being assured of the father’s good intentions, however, the director agreed to organize meetings in the presence of the school psychologist.
  • Children being subjected to severe alienation and paranoia about family and friends.  The meetings with the children, which were brief, confirmed that the mother has used these past several months to frighten them and create resentment even against their grandparents and their little 2-year old cousin. The mother’s anger and paranoid fears, expressed through the children, was palpable. Two of the children refused to speak in English, merely repeating the mother’s accusations against the father in Russian, blaming him for forcing them to live in Russia. The children claimed the mother had to flee Italy because the father wanted to put the oldest “into an insane asylum” (manicomio), one of the bizarre lies that Grin had told different media in Russia. (None of which ever bothered to read either the court decree about the children or check the fact that institutions (“manicomi”) have not existed in Italy for over 30 years.)
  • Commitments to follow up. The school director was complimentary of the father’s calm approach and offered to continue to organize contact with the children.
  • But still no site of Ezra, the youngest.

Monitoring of situation by Russian authorities

After Grin’s alarming statements over the internet about the Russian court’s rejection of her request to domicile the children with her in Russia, the Ombuds office for the St. Petersburg region confirmed that they are watching the situation closely. They indicated having received letters of concern from the children’s family as well as from the members of the Mellersh family in England.  They also mentioned receiving international press inquiries.

The Ombuds office noted that Grin has been uncooperative with their efforts to arrange visits with the children and their father, and was found to have lied about their place of residence. That Grin now appears to be using the children’s isolation to alienate them from their family and friends is another important area of concern regarding the children’s well-being. The fact that her behavior in this regard had been well-documented in Italy provides further evidence of the damage the children suffer in her care.

Still, it was good

Despite the above, the father reports being elated at the contact. Progress was made, and the difficulties he found were not insurmountable. Rather, they are same as those encountered when Grin was documented as engaging in alienating behavior in Italy.  Experience shows the children will rebound as long as they know they are loved, and that they have not been abandoned by the father, their friends, or the rest of their family.

And the first steps are always the hardest.

Марианны Гринь – интервью итальянским журналистам (русские субтитры)

   На Марианны Гринь дала интервью итальянским журналистам.Так, женщина с очень правдоподобным изумлением опровергает слова о том, что в России сдала детей в интернат. А следом – директор этого интерната и одна из учительниц простодушно сообщают, что детки у них ночевали, питались, учились.

В конце, когда Марианна решила, что камера уже выключена, она вдруг сбросила маску. Только что лицо её сияло улыбкой. И вдруг оно резко искажается. Грязно выругавшись в адрес мужа, женщина говорит, что намерена увезти детей из России.

Marianne Grin (Марианны Гринь): No Psych Exam yet in Russia

A question many have recently asked:  how is it possible that Russian authorities did not conduct a psychiatric evaluation of Grin immediately after her arrival in Russia? Have they done one since?

A need for a psychiatric assessment but no ability to require one

Several people have pointed out what should have been obvious to Russian authorities: that Grin arrived in the country as a result of a court-appointed psychological assessment in Italy that found her to be suffering from “paranoid delusions” and to represent a danger to her children, exhibiting “bizarre” behavior when they were in her care.

Also, unlike others who abduct children to Russia, Grin lacked any family ties in the country or close friends to rely upon there. In fact, she had in recent years severed relationships with all immediate family, most of her friends in the US and Italy, and the Jewish Community of Florence.

The Danger Signs Continue to Mount in Russia

And, perhaps most disturbingly, Grin has shown she will engage in dangerous and reckless behavior in Russia, including:

  • seeking broad publicity for false accusations that could easily be disproved (which occurred in March, the first time a Russian journalist attempted to verify her claims);
  • showing cruelty towards her own children by keeping them in isolation from family and friends (also in violation of Russian law), and her abandonment of them for several months to Chabad-run orphanages;
  • lying to authorities about the place where the children were living, taking them out of the orphanages for part of a day when called by Russian social services, pretending to live in an apartment belonging to the family of a wealthy Russian friend, Vladimir Klimovitsky, on Nevsky Prospect;
  • making bizarre public declarations in recent week railing against the Russian judge and Russian justice; and
  • allegedly engaging in serious criminal conduct: as the Fontanka (St. Petersburg) newspaper recently reported, Grin may have committed insurance fraud in Russia, procurring thousands of dollars from her insurer for services that were never rendered (by a non-existent psychiatrist) in St. Petersburg.

The common question is, what have the Russian authorities done to check on Grin’s mental state and capacity to care for the children?  Even if she did not have four children in her care, her self-destructive, deceptive, anti-social behavior would shout for a detailed psychiatric evaluation.

Russian Psych Exam not Possible… Yet…

By all indications, Russian authorities and even the institutions that have dealt directly with Grin are not oblivious to her problems. In varying degrees, they appear to acknowledge that her behavior is extreme and cause for concern. The fact does not appear to be in doubt.  The question is what can be done about it.

Unfortunately, as authorities have explained, under Russian law a psychiatric examination is not possible without Grin’s consent.  Not only has Grin refused to submit to one, she has fiercely opposed even psychological counseling that the Chabad-run institutions recommended for the children while in their care, to reduce the stress Grin’s actions were creating for them.

The only way to force a psych exam in Russia is to request it in connection with a court proceeding, for example for the determination of the domicile of children or termination of parental rights.  But because the Russian court has now rejected Grin’s application, there is no pending proceeding there in which to request a psychiatric evaluation.  As a result, between now and when the children are returned to Italy, they remain at risk under the care of their mother, whose mental state and ability to care for them apparently cannot be assessed or verified in Russia.

Which takes us to the silver lining of an appeal.  It is expected that Grin will appeal the April 12, 2012 decision rejecting her application in Russia.  Should the court overturn the April 12 decision, it should then be possible to request in Russia a psychiatric exam and an evaluation of the entire family, including Grin’s bizarre conduct in recent months, and her isolation of the children for such a long time.

Stranger than strange

English (Italiano Sotto)

As reported here yesterday, after losing her request in Russian courts, Marianne Grin loudly and publicly condemned the Russian judge and the Russian legal system. Her unsettling behavior, and history of psychological problems, has triggered letters of deep concern to Russian authorities from around the world. She continues to illegally (under Russian domestic law) deny the father, family, and friends any contact with the children. And the result?

An announcement yesterday by Russia’s presidential commissioner for children, Pavel Astakhov, that he will hold a press conference on behalf of “Russian mothers” and will include Grin.

Without, of course, ever having spoken with the father or any Italian authority to verify a word of what Grin alleges.

And perhaps without checking legal commentary already appearing about the decision that applauds it for demonstrating the soundness and independence of the Russian judiciary.

Clear evidence of danger to the children

Moreover, as indicated yesterday, the cause for concern about Grin increases. The children were removed from the Chabad orphanages on March 30 after the Russian media exposed what Grin had done, and have not returned or attended any school since. Subsequent media attention indicates she used an apartment on Nevsky Prospekt inhabited by the family of a Russian businessman, Vladimir Klimovitsky, to defraud Russian social services on living conditions of the children.

Grin has issued statements claiming that on April 9 she and the children were “being held hostage” by the father, comparing their conditions to “the Leningrad Siege” and stating that he was “posing as an American secret agent,” and announcing the decision of the Russian judge will be followed by “NATO bombings of Russian homes.” (The father was not even in Russia on April 9.)

So far no Russian authorities have accepted Grin’s delusions as reality.

Is Astakhov really looking to help children?

 

Italiano

Come è stato riportato ieri, dopo aver perso la sua richiesta di affidamento ai tribunali russi, Marianne Grin ha condanato publicamente il giudice russo e il sistema legale russo. Il suo comportamento strano, con la storia dei suoi problemi psichiatrici, ha scattenato lettere di forte preocupazione alle autorità russe mandate da tutto il mondo. Continua a negare ai bambini contatto con il padre, famiglie e amici (che è illegale sotto la legge Russa). Ed il risultato?

Un annuncio ieri dal rappresentante ufficiale per bambini sotto il governo Putin, Pavel Astakhov, che terrà una conferenza stampa rappresentando “Madri Russe” e includerà la Signora Grin.

Tutto questo, certo, senza aver parlato con il padre o qualsiasi autorità italiana per verificare quello che dice la Signora Grin.

E forse, senza aver controllato i commenti sulla legge che già appaiono riguarda questa decisione che applaudano il giudice russo per aver dimostrato nella sua decisione una concretezza e indipendenza di un tribunale russo.

Chiara testimonianza di pericolo ai bambini

Per di più, come è stato indicato ieri, la causa per la preocupazione riguarda la Signora Grin cresce. I bambini sono stati tolti dagli istituti/orfanotrofi Chabad il 20 marzo dopo che la stampa russa ha svelato quello che Grin aveva fatto, e non hanno ancora riportato I bambini a scuola li’ o in qualsiasi altro posto da allora. Altri giornali russi hanno svelato che ha usato un appartmento su Nevsky Prospekt dove abitava la famiglia di Vladimir Klimovitsky, un imprenditore russo, e ha usato questo appartmento per truffare i servizi sociali russi sulla residenza dei bambini.

La signoria Grin aveva dimostrato dichiarazioni che sostengono che il 9 aprie lei e I bambini erano “in ostaggio” dal padre, e ha fatto il paragone alle condizioni come “L’assedio di Leningrad” dove sosteneva che il padre stava “posando come un agente segreto degli USA” e ha poi annunciato che dopo questa decisione del giudice sara’ seguito da “bombe di NATO sulle nostre case russe.” (Il padre, non è stato in Russia il 9 aprile).

Ad oggi nessuna autorità russa ha accetato i deliri di Signora Grin come la realtà.

Sta cercando veramente di aiutare questi bambini, Pavel Astakhov?

Cautious optimism coupled with serious concerns after Russian court ruling

Cautious optimism coupled with serious concerns after Russian court ruling

As recently reported in the Russian media, the St. Petersburg court on April 12, 2012, rejected Marianne Grin’s application to revoke the father’s parental rights and to have the children domiciled with her in Russia. The court determined that the children’s domicile was being determined by the Italian courts, and that Grin could not forum shop in Russia. http://www.fontanka.ru/2012/04/13/158/

For legal commentary on the decision, see also Дмитрий Литвинский (Dimitry Litvinsky),
Расторжение смешанных браков (Dissolution of Marriages) 

Cautious Optimism while the Children’s Isolation Continues

The children’s family is being cautious about the decision, which remains subject to appeal. The court’s judgment does not order the return of the children to Italy, and the father has still not seen them. Although the consequence of the decision is that, within Russia, both parents continue to have equal rights to see and participate in the children’s lives, Grin continues to illegally prevent any contact between them and their father, their family, and friends.

The father is working with domestic Russian authorities to find a way to calmly bring the children out of their isolation, while also ensuring their safety given the concerns now being raised.

Serious Concerns

In recent weeks there have been signs that Grin’s hold on reality is rapidly declining. In the days just prior to the ruling, articles appeared on the web claiming that on April 9 “Grin and her children were being held hostage” by the father, comparing their conditions to “the Leningrad Siege” and stating that he was “posing as an American secret agent.” In addition to the fantastical hyperbole – the father has not seen the children since August 2011 – the father was not even in Russia on April 9.

One has to ask how it is even possible to pose as a secret agent? It would be cause for humor, except that following the court’s ruling, Grin’s declarations took on even darker tones. She published statements, including on the official government website maintained by the children’s Ombuds for the St. Petersburg region, saying that the judge who issued the decision should be “ashamed”, and predicting that the result would be “NATO bombings of Russian homes.” She has republished this statement on various Russian blogs.

Custody Services Fraud – the Klimovitsky Apartment on Nevsky Prospekt

Adding to concerns is the additional news, reported in the Russian press, that Grin committed fraud against Russian social services regarding the children’s living conditions.

According to the above Fontanka article, several witnesses confirmed that Grin was keeping the children in the orphanages/institutions operated by Chabad-Lubavitch and “taking them to an apartment on Nevsky” only on days when there were to be inspections by Custody Services. These are the social services authorities responsible for determining their well-being.

The apartment Grin listed as her residence was “Nevsky Prospect 72″, a luxury apartment in the city center, and she provided a phone number at the apartment, which belongs to Vladimir Klimovitsky.

According to information on the internet, Klimovitsky is the owner of St. Petersburg company, Colortek, which produces ink and toner for photocopy machines. http://www.colortek.ru/eng/ Family and friends of the children have written to Klimovitsky, including at Colortek offices (e-mail: colortek@colortek.ru), asking his help in contacting the children, but he has refused to answer.

The relationship between Klimovitsky and Grin is not known, nor why he would aid Grin’s fraud by allowing his apartment to be used merely to defraud social services, so that she could conceal from authorities that she had placed the children in orphanages.

Cautious optimism, but reasons to be deeply concerned.

Cauto ottimismo e forte preocupazione dopo la decisione del tribunale russo

Come è stato riportato nella stampa Russa, il tribunale di San Pietroburgo, il 12 aprile 2012, ha respinto la domanda di Marianne Grin di togliere la podestà genitoriale al padre e di avere il domicilio con lei in Russia. Il tribunale ha determinato che il domicilio dei bambini deve essere deciso dal tribunale italiano, e che la Signora Grin non può neanche manipulare il tribunale ad avere un giudice che secondo lei sarebbe più a suo favore.

Cauto ottimismo mentre l’isolazione dei bambini continua

La famiglia dei bambini è molto cauta ora rigurda questa decisione, che rimane anche aperta per un eventuale appello. Il giudizio del tribunale non obliga il ritorno ai bambini in Italia, e il padre non li ha ancora visti mentre in Russia. Però, la conseguenza della decisione del giudice è che, dentro il territorio russo, entrambi I genitori hanno diritti eguali per vedere e partecipare alle vite dei bambini, la Signora Grin continua a illegalmente prevenire qualsiasi contato fra loro e il loro padre, famiglia e amici.

Il padre sta lavorando con le autorità russe domestici per trovare un modo di portare I bambini fuori il loro isolamento in modo non intrusivo, mentre assicurano anche la loro sicurezza considerando le preocupazioni che hanno tutti ora.

Forte preoccupazioni

Nelle ultime settimane ci sono stati segni che la Signora Grin ha un senso della realtà che sta rapidamente calando. Nei giorni precedenti alle decisioni del giudice, articoli sono aparsi in internet dicendo che il 9 aprile “Grin e I suoi bambini erano in ostaggio” dal padre, paragonando le loro condizioni all’ “Assedio di Leningrad” e dichiaravano che lui “stava posando come un agente dei servizi segreti USA”. Pero’, il padre non vede i suoi bambini da Agosto 2011 e non era in Russia il 9 aprile.

Uno deve chiedere come è possibile posare come un agente dei servizi segreti?  Sembrerebbe comico, solo che a seguito della decisione del giudice, le dichiarazioni della Signora Grin sono diventati ancora più scuri. Ha publicato dichiarazioni, alcuni sul sito internet ufficiale del governo del “Ombuds” per bambini di San Pietroburgo, dichiarando che il giudice di questa recente decisione deve “vergognarsi” e ha previsto che come reazione alla sua decisione ci saranno “bombe di NATO di case russe”. La Signora Grin ha addiritura publicato questa frase su varii blog russi dopo

Truffa dei servizi sociali  - l’appartmento della famiglia Klimovitsky su Nevsky Prospekt

Preocupazioni in più, riportati nella stampa russa, che la Signora Grin ha truffato i servizi sociali russi riguarda le condizioni domiciliary dei bambini.

Secondo l’articolo di Fontanka sopra, molti testimoni hanno confermato che la Signora Grin stava tendendo i bambini nei orfanotrofi/istituzioni operati da Chabad-Lubavitch e “li porta ad un appartamento su Nevsky” solo durante giorni in cui si sono ispezioni dei servici sociali. Questi sono le autorità dei servizi sociai responsabili per la sicurezza dei bambini.

L’appartamento della Signora Grin elencato come residenza era “Nevsky Prospect 72”, un appartmanento di lusso nel centro della città, e ha dato il numero di telefono dell’appartamento, che aveva come proprietà Vladimir Klimovitsky.

Secondo le informazioni in internet, il Signor Klimovistky è il proprietario della compagnia a San Pietroburgo, Colortek, che produce inchiostro e toner per le stampanti. http://www.colortek.ru/eng/ Famiglia e amici dei bambini hanno scritto a Signor Klimovitsky, e hanno copiato anche l’indirizzo email di lavoro (e-mail: colortek@colortek.ru), chiedendo aiuto da lui a contattare i bambini, ma fin’ora ha rifiutato di rispondere.

Il rapporto fra Signor Klimovitsky e la Signora Grin non è chiaro, neanche perché lui darebbe aiuto alla Signora Grin e il suo truffare ai servizi sociali e permette l’uso del suo appartmento cosi’ Grin potrebbe nascondere dalle autorità il fatto che ha lasciato i bambini in orfanotrofi.

Cauto ottimismo, pero’ motivi per essere seriamente preoccupati.
