A court in the West Kazakhstan Region has officially stripped a woman of parental rights after she drove her 10-year-old son to exhaustion and a life on a garbage dump. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
From birth, the child lived with his mother in an abandoned house where strangers constantly gathered. She led an antisocial lifestyle and abused alcohol.
“The boy never attended school, could not read or write, and obtained food and clothing from a landfill,” the court’s press service said.
In 2026, the boy was removed from the family and sent to a Child Support Center, then placed under guardianship in a family-type children’s village. Throughout this time, the mother never once visited her son and ignored court hearings.
According to a psychologist’s conclusion, the child suffered severe trauma and completely lost attachment to his mother. The boy experiences panic fear of her due to the fear of ending up at the landfill again.
“The boy admitted that he likes living in the children’s village because here there is a clean bed and good food,” the agency added.
The court found proven the fact of the woman’s malicious evasion of raising her son. The mother is deprived of parental rights and is also obliged to pay alimony, which will be transferred to the boy’s personal deposit account.
