Nyuta Federmesser, Head of the Palliative Care Center and Founder of the Vera Hospice Charitable Foundation wrote down a video message in which she said that recently seven wards had died in the St. Petersburg psycho-neurological boarding school (PNI) No. 10.

According to Federmesser, the problems at the boarding school were known a year and a half ago.

“We said and wrote that the boarding school is understaffed, that there are not enough hands to care for, that all the children are extremely malnourished and have protein-energy malnutrition. All these children might have been saved. But they all died,” said Federmesser.

She noted that in St. Petersburg there are volunteers who might temporarily replace the caring staff, but they are “virtually not allowed into boarding schools.”

Federmesser suggested “opening the doors” of boarding schools for volunteers, as well as setting other performance indicators for the guardian directors of the PNI, which would primarily be aimed at caring for and developing the boarding schools under their care. She appealed to several officials, including Federation Council Chairman Valentina Matviyenko, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, Health Minister Mikhail Murashko and others.

Telegram channel “Mash on the Moika” with a link to Federmesser representatives clarifiedthat the deceased ward of the boarding school was from 19 to 27 years old.

After the publication of Federmesser, the prosecutor’s office of St. Petersburg start verification, as the video message “contains information regarding possible violations of the law.”

Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova reportedthat appealed to the competent authorities because of the death of the wards of the boarding school.
