He tried to strangle his sister, he bit her. When my daughter was little, there were moments when he stood next to her with scissors, cut off her hair. That is, he did not poke at her with scissors, but it was kind of scary. Now he doesn’t have one, he doesn’t touch anyone, ”Veronica added.

The boy has an imaginary friend, whose name is Kostya. Relatives believe that this is a consequence of a mental illness.

– So that you understand: if we eat, we sit down, I had to impose on him and put Kostya. Why he can respond to the name Kostya is not entirely clear, whether he identifies himself with Kostya, or whether he is still like a separate person Kostya. He does not respond to the name Daler – rather, to the name of Dahl, because that is what we call him at home, ”Veronica explained.
