Ukraine is losing children every day. Some die under shelling, just yesterday they lived in their hometowns, went to school, dreamed of the future, and today their names are engraved on black marble slabs. Their parents are grief-stricken, forced to attend graves instead of making breakfast, taking them to school, or giving them a hug at bedtime. However, there are other children whose lives are cut short not by war, but by the indifference or cruelty of their own parents. In a country that is fighting for survival every day, there are more and more news about children who were not saved, sold, starved, whose small bodies were buried like unwanted garbage. Kharkiv: the mother valued the child at $20,000 It is hard to imagine, but even in the 21st century, even during war, when every life is priceless, there are those who are ready to trade their own children. In Kharkiv, a 22-year-old woman decided to sell her two-month-old daughter for $20,000. She reported about it National Police of Ukraine. She gave birth to a girl on December 1, 2024, but instead of taking care of her, after a month she started looking for a buyer. She was not tormented by doubts, no remorse arose. Everything was clearly thought out: she had to get the money and give the child to another person. However, what the woman thought was an easy way to make money ended up in handcuffs for her. She was detained by law enforcement officers while handing over the baby and receiving the money. As it turned out, the woman already has a son aged 1 year and 10 months, and she and her roommate planned to spend the money received from the sale of the child on a car. Everything happened so quickly that the child did not even understand what was happening. The little life that has just begun has already become a commodity. But she was lucky — she remained alive. The woman is now waiting for the court’s decision. She faces up to 15 years in prison. Odesa: the body of a child in a freezer If the child was saved in Kharkiv, then in Odesa the boy, who was barely a year old, did not get his chance. February 4 press service National Police reported that a one-year-old boy was found dead in a freezer in Odessa, before that he had suffered burns and needed medical assistance. According to the investigators, in January of this year, due to neglect of the mother, the child received serious thermal burns. The kid began to faint, he was getting worse, but no one was in a hurry to call the doctors. The mother and her roommate simply watched the child struggle for life, but did nothing. And he died. But even after the boy’s death, they did not show any human emotions. No tears, no remorse. To hide the tragedy, the man simply put the body in the freezer. They were looking for a boy. No one knew where he was. And only after the intervention of the police did they find his lifeless body among the frozen meat and vegetables. As if he was not a child, but something extra, unnecessary, which simply needs to be removed from the eyes. The boy’s older sister, who is only a year older, was urgently hospitalized. Now social services are deciding her further fate. The mother and her roommate were arrested. The court has already chosen a preventive measure for them — 60 days in custody without bail. These two stories are not just news. This is a terrible diagnosis that society has prescribed for itself. In one family, the child was simply sold like a commodity. In another, they were sentenced to death, and then put in a freezer. What is going on in the minds of these people? Why have babies become a burden for them that can either be sold profitably or disposed of in any way? In a country where children die every day due to war, those who survive are still in danger. But not because of shells, but because of their own parents.

Every day, Ukrainian children suffer from the consequences of the war, which destroys their childhood, forces them to live in fear and adapt to the harsh reality. However, it is not only hostilities that take the lives of young Ukrainians. They become victims of accidents that could have been prevented. The story that happened in the Kherson Region is another tragic reminder of how important adult vigilance is. Tragedy on the Ingulets River On February 13, a terrible event took place in the Veliko Oleksandriv community of the Kherson region, which took the lives of three children. About this reported Oleksandr Prokudin, head of Kherson OVA. A group of teenagers — 5 children — stepped onto the thin ice of a frozen river, unaware of the mortal danger. The ice could not support the weight of the children, and they went under the water. A 16-year-old girl tried to pull the children out of the water, but she herself ended up under the ice. Fortunately, the tragedy was noticed by a local resident who rushed to help and was able to save two girls — a 16-year-old and a 12-year-old. They reached the shore, but suffered hypothermia. But three others – a 9-year-old boy, a 13-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl – died in the cold waters of Ingulets. The search and rescue operation lasted two days. Only on February 15 was it possible to find the body of the last missing teenager. Dozens of rescuers, special equipment and even underwater drones were involved in the operation, but it was impossible to bring the children back to life. Why is this happening? Thin ice, open bodies of water, dangerous fun — children are often unaware of the danger, and adults do not always have time to prevent tragedies. Winter in Ukraine is unstable, and frozen bodies of water do not always have solid ice, making them a death trap. But the main reason for such cases is insufficient awareness of children about safety rules and neglect by adults. This is not the first and, unfortunately, not the last case when children die on the water, in winter or summer. Every year, the statistics of rescuers record dozens of deaths due to carelessness in water bodies. How to prevent such tragedies This tragedy cannot be undone, but we can do everything we can to prevent it from happening again. Here are some basic tips that will help parents protect their children from danger: Tell children about the danger. Explain that going out on the ice unaccompanied by adults is strictly prohibited, even if it seems to be solid. Teach them to recognize dangerous places — thin or cracked ice, areas near currents or sinkholes. Watch where the children are walking. Parents often underestimate how risky children’s games can be. If there is a body of water nearby, make sure the child knows that stepping onto the ice is deadly. Explain what to do in case of danger. Teach children not to panic if they fall under the ice. Tell them that you need to spread your arms wide on the surface so as not to go under the water, and try to get out with your chest forward. Supervise teenagers. Older children often underestimate the risks and go for dangerous experiments. It is important to talk to them about the possible consequences so that they do not seek adventure where tragedy awaits them. React quickly. If you witness someone falling under the ice, do not immediately run to help — the ice may not be able to withstand you either. Use long objects (rope, board, belt) and immediately call rescuers. Children’s lives are the most valuable thing we have. Their safety depends not only on themselves, but also on the responsibility of parents, teachers and society as a whole. Vigilance, caution and knowledge of safety rules can save lives. Let this tragedy be a lesson for everyone, so that no other family loses their child due to neglect of elementary rules.
