In the Dnipropetrovsk region, they are looking for a 6-year-old boy


Complicating the search is that the child does not speak and does not hear well.
In the Dnepropetrovsk region, they are looking for a six-year-old Vasyl Podkuyko. The boy disappeared a week ago in the village of Protochi. He left the house and did not return.
On Friday, July 15, the police and volunteers once again combed the area, because there was information that the boy had allegedly been seen in his native village. However, he has not been found yet. Complicating the search is that the child does not speak and does not hear well.
The child lives with mom and dad. According to the parents, on the evening of the disappearance of the boy, they quarreled. The mother left home, and the father did not immediately notice that the son had disappeared.
They say he ran away before. However, he did not disappear for such a long time. Where he may be, they say they do not suspect. At first they tried to look for their son on their own, but then they asked for help.
The search for Vasil Podkuiko continues, everyone who saw the boy is asked to report to the police at 102.
