12 years ago, this story shocked all Russians - an eleven-year-old girl gave birth to an adult man who illegally resided in the country. The whole country, with bated breath, followed the development of the plot and wondered how the love story of Vali Isaeva and Khabib Potakhonov would end. Many years later, the real truth was revealed, and it was very different from what the young parents told many years ago.
The truth is somewhere near
Everyone remembers the heart-rending cries of little Vali, which her grandmother took from the hospital. Such emotions are impossible to play. The whole country empathized with the unfortunate girl, from whom malicious social services intended to take away her daughter. But not everyone believed in a beautiful fairy tale about the first love between a child and a guest worker. Years passed, and the whole unpleasant side of this sensational story appeared before amazed people. It turns out that it is not as beautiful as the participants in this drama drew.
How it was
In May 2005, all public attention was focused on Vale Isaeva and Khabib Potakhonov. A fifth grader, right from the lesson at school, was brought with the threat of miscarriage to the hospital. How could a girl who was only 11 years old be in the 30th week of pregnancy? The investigation quickly went on the trail of the criminal - he turned out to be a 22-year-old native of Tajikistan, renting a room in his grandmother's apartment. The girl has no parents, and the old woman was officially the guardian of Vali. At that moment, she vowed that she did not know anything about what was happening on her living space, and assured that Habib was only 14 years old.
Federal channels could not pass such a story, and programs about the love of a child and an adult man fell like a cornucopia. But in them no one condemned the foreign pedophile, but on the contrary, called for all kinds of help to this strange couple. No one cared about the fact that Valya couldn’t judge what was happening due to her age and mental development. But her tears and screams cut the hearts of adults and smart people. To help the rapist, lawyers hastened to respect their names. Psychologists tried to beat the bell, but their indignation drowned in a general roar of indignation.
From pedophiles to heroes
Taught by experienced lawyers and other "good" people, Habib came to the police with a confession. He told a touching story that Valya had already been raped by some Azerbaijanis before him and she herself invited him to have sexual intercourse. He was afraid to offend her and gave his consent. Although he didn’t want to do this himself. The investigation took into account all aspects of this case and issued the most lenient sentence - 3 years probation. The court did not allow young parents to live in the same apartment, which was ignored.
Stockholm Syndrome
Valya gave birth to a healthy girl and named her Amina. It is noteworthy that the child should have been taken to an orphanage. The young mother, in the presence of social workers, shouted that she was ready to abandon the child if her Khabib was left alone and allowed to be together. Then it was perceived as postpartum psychosis. No one saw anything strange in the behavior of the little girl, although there were all the symptoms of the Stockholm syndrome. With the help of her grandmother, she managed to escape, and no one dared to take the child away.
