Ruslana Prymkha, 12 y.o.
Ruslana has both parents, but they are constantly fighting and squabbling. When she misbehaves, her father and older brother abuse her physically, and her mother does so mentally (by cursing and humiliating her). As a result, Ruslana often leaves home. Because her father is unwilling to get a job, her mother has to spend all her days at work supporting the whole family. Since neither of the parents pays the needed attention to their daughter, Ruslana has lost her interest in learning things at school. At our Rehab Center, Ruslana is always a very upbeat and vivacious girl. Her favorite school subject is music. In her spare time, she likes roller-skating, riding bikes, singing and dancing. She loves to dress nice, and dreams of having nice clothes. She likes stuffed animals, and dreams of becoming a singer. |
