Seven-year-old Ilya Yaropolov, who was kidnapped from a kindergarten in Krasnokamsk, Perm Territory, was found alive and unharmed. A message about this appeared on Sunday, April 1, on the website of the investigative department of the RF Investigative Committee for the Perm Territory.

As told RIA Novosti official representative of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Vladimir Markin , the boy was found at a bus stop in Perm. The child was examined by emergency doctors and psychologists. The boy has already been handed over to his parents.

Ilya Yaropolov was kidnapped from a kindergarten on March 27. Two days later, the boy was put on the federal wanted list. The circumstances of Yaropolov's disappearance have not yet been established. A criminal case has been initiated under the article “Kidnapping of a knowingly minor.” The thieves face up to 12 years in prison.

A girl 18-20 years old is suspected of kidnapping the boy. On the day the child disappeared, she was noticed on the territory of the kindergarten. The boy, apparently, knew the girl, because when he saw her he immediately ran to her and began talking to her.

According to one version of the investigation, the boy was actually kidnapped. According to another version, Yaropolov was taken from kindergarten by a girl he knew, who did not notify the boy’s parents that the child was with her. On the day of the kidnapping, the boy’s kindergarten teacher was on sick leave; he was replaced by a physical education instructor. According to lawyer Pavel Astakhov , the necessary documents on the temporary assignment of teacher duties to the coach were not prepared. Both the physical education instructor and the head of the kindergarten were suspended from work during the internal investigation.
