👦 Boys

A 13-year-old and a 15-year-old managed to depart the country and fly to Sweden without adult supervision or detection, an incident that has raised questions about how the minors were able to navigate an international airport and a boarding gate alone. Closer to home, the child protection services in Rõuge municipality are under scrutiny for a staffing ratio that leaves a single worker responsible for 700 children. Meanwhile, investigative reports into a leading IT firm suggest the company used offshore entities to generate millions in profit. The Supreme Court has sided with a driver over a minor traffic fine, despite a lower court judge previously dismissing the motorist's defense as absurd. In sport, the figure skating season opened with a personal record for Niina Petrõkina and a podium finish for Aleksandr Selevko.
