MOSCOW, July 6 (RAPSI) – The Babushkinsky District Court on Monday ordered Nadezhda Kulikova, who had left her son alone in a Moscow reservation park for a night, to undergo compulsory mental treatment, the court’s press service told RAPSI.

According to a missing child report filed by Kulikova, on the evening of February 17, she drove into the National Park Elk Island at the request of the boy. In the forest the child ran away and failed to return, she stated. However, the woman did not apply for help while her son was trying to find a hole in the cold all the night, according to investigators.
