Subject: We should all count our blessings:


We must all pray for this poor child, that he will somehow find the
happiness he deserves with parents who will treat him well and who will love
him.  We are reminded by this to be thankful we were given enough to ware
and to eat as children.  All the fictional forwards can be sent, but they
will never match the reality all around us.
Wealthy parents abandon 4-year-old blind boy at hospital

> Wealthy parents abandon 4-year-old blind boy at hospital
>
> The 4-year-old Kolya Levashov has been left in a hospital in the town of
Voskresensk, Moscow region. A man and a woman entered a first-aid room
carrying the boy wrapped in a blanket.
>
> They arrived in a SUV.
>
> The boy was barely alive. The doctors had to put him in an intensive care.
Later the doctors found out that the boy was blind. Apparently, he had been
brutally beaten up. Besides, he had been starving.
>
> A luxury four-wheel drive vehicle pulled up in front of a first-aid room
in Voskresensk on a gloomy rainy morning. A man and a woman climbed out of
the car. Judging by the clothes they wore, they were pretty well-off. The
man was carrying a child wrapped in a blanket. The child looked more dead
than alive.
>
> "There's been an accident. Our son fell from a staircase," said the man
hurriedly. "Help him, please," added he.
>
> The doctors removed the blanket. The scene made them hold their breath.
The child was wearing nothing but a blue jacket and panty hose. His body was
covered with bruises and scratches.
>
> "Well, it looks like he had quite a fall," said one of the doctors. "Do
you have a medical insurance policy on the child?" asked the doctor.
>
> "No, we left it at home," answered the woman. The words came out as gasps.
Yet the doctors could feel a dash of relief in the way she spoke those
words. "We'll be back in a minute," said she and the couple walked out of
the emergency room.
>
> They never came back.
>
> "What kind of people are they? They look like they've got means. And they
just abandoned the poor child. The boy was in dire straits. He really had
one foot in the grave," say the doctors.
>
> The child had to undergo intensive therapy for several months in a
regional hospital. The boy slowly recovered from a grave injury on his
cranium. The child had also suffered from malnutrition.
>
> Kolya was diagnosed with blindness when he finally came around.
>
> "Kolya was born blind. He has a congenital atrophy of the eye nerves,"
sighs Irina Dyatlova, head of department at the hospital. "It's a crying
shame. The blind boy, a completely helpless creature, has been beaten up and
subjected to starvation," adds she.
>
> All the doctors working in the department are enamored with the boy. They
can hardly fight back the tears as they look into his eyes open wide, the
eyes that have never seen the light of the day.
>
> Somebody called the hospital a week after the boy was admitted to the
intensive care. A female caller asked the receptionist how Kolya was doing.
She hung up after being told that the child was alive. The doctors did not
tell Kolya anything about the strange call.
>
> Kolya would wake up sobbing from yet another nightmare 'Momma, give me
some bread please,' he moaned.
>
> 'Good gracious!' say the doctors in dismay. 'The poor child just couldn't
get his fill at the beginning. And his parents looked like wealthy people.
The boy never complains, he can behave himself alright. He's a smart one,
too. He can always find the right door in a corridor,' say the doctors.
>
> 'He can recognize me by my manner of stepping. You know, sometimes I feel
pretty surly at the end of the shift. And here comes Kolya. He will place
his tiny hand on my knee, running it gently up and down. 'Are you tired?
You've got a headache, don't you?' he'll ask me in his sweet voice. And I'll
feel better in a split second,' says one of the nurses.
>
> A dark-haired boy walks along the long corridor. After a brief pause, he
grabs a knob of the nearest door and pulls it open.
>
> 'Kolya, how can you locate the door to your ward?'
>
> 'I just keep walking until I reach the right one,' answers the boy. 'And
here's Katya, my girlfriend,' adds he and motions to a girl standing nearby.
>
> Kolya Levashov cherishes a dream. He wants his mother to come back.
>
> 'He used to be talking about his mom who would surely call the hospital,
and his dad who would come to pick him up, riding on a big car. But we doubt
that those two who'd brought him to our hospital are his real parents,' says
Irina Dyatlova.
>
> Kolya will be 5 years old on September 27th.
>
> 'What would you like to get for your birthday?'
>
> 'I'd like to have a chocolate bar. And I want to have my momma back,' says
the boy.
>
> He takes a toy phone set, a wispy hand holding the receiver tight: 'Hello!
Momma, can you hear me?'
