A baby just over 5 months old was found in critical condition in the mother’s closet, who wanted to hide it and keep it a secret. The boy, named Katya, is only alive thanks to his 13-year-old brother, who on his mother’s cunning side gave him leftover food and water.

The baby was found in a gym bag that was in the mother’s wardrobe, after a friend heard her cry during her brother’s 13th birthday party.

According to the Russian portal Krasnoturyinsk Live, the baby was born in April and was locked by the mother in the closet, who was waiting for the child to starve.

After the discovery, the boy, a native of Karpinsk, Russia, was transported by helicopter to the hospital in Ecaterinburg, where he remains until now, in intensive care.

The mother has already been arrested and the Investigative Committee of Russia has already opened an investigation. Yulia, 37, could be charged with torture and face up to seven years in prison.

“This horrible story is hard to believe, but as much as it may be hard for us to admit, it is real,” said Valery Gorelyhk, a spokesman for the Sverdlovsk regional police.
