Father forces 8-year old child to walk naked and barefooted at streets.
Second grader Mikhail Pekhtin takes his clothes off, puts it in large rucksack and, hardly moving naked legs, walks along the street. There are only silk underwear and cross hanging on the neck. Misha is very cold but he is forbidden to dress - otherwise, father will punish him.
"He beats with belt but this is all right. I am used to it, - says boy to neighbors. - Now I need to get used to cold?"
His parents are psychologically stable and seem to be ordinary people. By tortures they "train courage in child".
"Pekhtins have enough money, - tells their neighbor Natalia. - Children are well dressed, flat is well furnished. But they are strange people: listen to church music all the time, pray together?"
It is not bad to believe in God. But how deep religious belief correlates with a child, all in scars from father`s belt, with knees covered with ethyl green and almost naked?
- Pekhtin walks in underwear on the street? Really? - was surprised psychologists of school where Misha studies. - I hear about that for the first time. He is a very good boy: social, with rich interior world, have friends. But among closest people Pekhtin didn`t name either parents or teachers, only classmates-friends?
Other teachers know about tortures. But they can not interfere - during classes child is dresses.
- He goes out of school in shoes and jacket. Then comes to fence, and their out territory ends?
