When it comes to child training and discipline, everyone is not gifted in the act.
A mother and stepfather in a Russian Town of Omsk, have been jailed for the corporal punishment meted out to their son whom they forced to kneel for nine straight hours without food a top pile of wheat.
The couple claimed the boy ran away from home. His mother said she discovered that form of punishment on the internet and had tried it herself and did not think it would hurt the boy.
The boy’s mother Alina Yumasheva, 27, admitted she had approved the punishment which was inflicted on ten consecutive days in May 2019 and other times.

The boy’s stepfather also punched and pulled his hair while he kneeled in excruciating pain.
The injury on the boy’s knee were so horrific that a neighbour had to report the couple to the police after taking him to the hospital for treatment where he spent one month.
The wheat entered the boy’s knees requiring surgery to remove them.
Yumasheva was sentenced to one-and-a-half years in prison while mastermind Kazakov, the stepfather was jailed for four-and-a-half-years.
The pair were fined a total of £4,825 which must be paid to the boy.
