In the center of Moscow, police officers detained a 10-year-old boy who read poetry, and took him to the police department, despite protests from his mother. About what happened "Mediason" was told by the child's father Ilya Skavronsky.

Later, counsel Tatyana Solomina specified that the wife of Ilya Skavronsky is not the mother of a 10-year-old boy, but his stepmother. As the lawyer said, because of this the police repeated: "You are a child, go away".

According to Skavronsky, his wife and son were walking around the Arbat area. On Vozdvizhenka Street, the boy began to recite to passers-by fragments from William Shakespeare's Hamlet, while his stepmother was from him at 20-25 meters.

"My wife sat, read the book, and the child recited" Hamlet ". Police squad arrived, they talked about something without her participation. Then they twisted it, there is a video recording of what was happening. They began to shove - she came up, tried to prevent it, "- says the father of the child.

As noted by Skavronsky, during the detention the police behaved rudely and swore. As a result of his wife's attempts to prevent her son from being detained, her clothes were torn and the tablet broke.

The child's father explains that when he recited poems his son did not beg: "He is engaged in theatrical activities. For him, these outlets on the street are a struggle with complexes ".

A boy was taken to the Arbat police station. Now there are his parents. The father is made up of a protocol on an administrative offense under Article 5. 35 of the Code of Administrative Violations (non-fulfillment of parenting obligations by parents). Skavronsky did not sign the protocol because of disagreement with its content.

The boy's father added that his wife was ill. He noted that in a private conversation the deputy head of the department of internal affairs threatened him with possible detention of his wife on charges of attacking police officers.

As reported by RTVi, in the department of information response of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Moscow explained the detention of the child by the fact that he was alone and approached "then to one car, then to another".

In this case, the source of RIA Novosti in law enforcement agencies argues that parents forced the child to beg. "Police officers detained a 9-year-old boy who read poems on the Arbat for the purpose of begging.

According to police, the boy was forced to do this by his parents, "the source said..

Closer to midnight, the boy and his parents were released from the police department. According to the "OVD-Info", at that time in the department remained lawyers Skavronsky Tatiana Solomina and Anastasia Samorukova.
