A kindergarten in St. Petersburg has been ordered to pay 150,000 rubles in compensation to a child who suffered a broken nose while at the facility. The incident, which occurred on May 27 of last year, involved a five-year-old boy who sustained the injury while playing tag.
An investigation was launched by the Prosecutor’s Office of the Admiralty District following a complaint from the child’s father. The investigation revealed that the caregiver had left the boy unsupervised.
Furthermore, authorities determined that the child did not receive prompt medical attention after the fall. Medics were only called after the injured father arrived at the scene.
As a result of these findings, the prosecutor’s office filed a lawsuit seeking compensation for moral damages. The court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, holding the kindergarten responsible for the incident.
