Mother Abandons Her Kids for 9 Days Without Food Just to Be With Her Lover

20-year-old Vladislava Podchapko, has been slammed after leaving her toddler to starve to death when she went off with her lover for nine days.

 

Vladislava Podchapko left her two young children alone in her flat in Kiev, Ukraine, with no food.

 

The youngest child Daniil – who was not even two years old – succumbed to hunger and died after six days in the apartment where he had been left with only candles

 

And his poor two-year-old sister was left alone with his body for a further three days

 

Neighbours reportedly heard the terrified children screaming and crying constantly over the week-and-a-half period.

 

The helpless pair are said to have tried desperately to get out, pulling at the front door – but nobody came to help them.

 

There have been unconfirmed reports that neighbours called police to reports the worrying sounds coming from the flat, but that cops failed to respond. Help only came for the little girl when her mother finally returned home and officers arrived.

 

Her daughter was rushed to hospital on the brink of death, where doctors frantically worked to save her.

 

While the girl was treated, cops arrested and quizzed Podchapko – who is said to be either pregnant or to have recently given birth to a third child

 

But the mum is said to have told stunned officers: “I didn’t know that children could die.”

 

She now faces up to eight years behind bars for child neglect.

 

The woman's two kids were left alone for 9 days
