American Jessica Bigley, who is accused of cruelty against her adopted
Russian son, intends to come to Russia with her husband and apologize
publically, Russian Children’s Ombudsman Pavel Astakhov says.

Last autumn, an American TV channel showed a video record where Jessica
makes the boy drink piquant sauce and pours cold water on him.

She explained that by this, she tried to make him obedient.

After this TV program, a criminal case was instituted against Jessica
Bigely.
