      Bailiffs of the Nizhny Novgorod region handed an eight-year-old boy over to his father after the child had been sought for several months. The child's mother violated a court ruling and hid the son, moving with him around Russia. This story was reported by the regional office of the Federal Bailiff Service.

      After searches, the woman was found in one of the monasteries in Arzamas. A bailiff, police officers and representatives of the guardianship authorities arrived at the scene. The suspect was detained — she was listed on the federal wanted list for evading parental responsibilities.

      The child was temporarily placed in a social institution. The next day the father, who lives in Sochi, flew to the Nizhny Novgorod region and took his son home.

      According to the press service of the regional FSSP, the enforcement proceedings in the case have been completed.

      Earlier it was reported that about one million rubles in debt for bread were collected from a Nizhny Novgorod entrepreneur.
