I have stumbled upon the cases of russian adopted children that died in US and am truly saddened by the facts. Rochelle, if it was truly an accident, she should have fought the allegations. No doubt it is a terrible ordeal for everyone. Having a young child myself I cannot imagine what it must have been like to have children with disabilities. I hope the other boy is doing fine . Susan, what do you think is the prolem? I doubt it is the fact that he is adopted that holds your son back., unless it is a very prejudiced community.Does he have language/other issues? Being an mimmigrant myself I know some stigma attached but is there anything else ? I am a russian native living in US for the past 10 yrs and a court interpreter.

Being an mimmigrant myself I know some stigma
attached but is there anything else ?

He has never been accepted by the community even though every sport he's been in kids have been nice but never invite him. He's a senior in high school and same thing. When his teammates and parents find out he's adopted, he's never invited after the games. He's good looking, fun and smart but he is quiet. He has poured his heart out to me and says he smiles at everyone but no luck. Has anyone else experienced this? My son was adopted from Russia when he was 5 years old.

Mr. Polreis has obviously had no experience with the legal system and clearly has no understanding of plea deals. This was ruled an accident. What a time of gratification this has been for those of us who know and love the whole family affected by this tragedy. You take a plea when you are told that this is the best way to conclude. When a child dies in the care of a parent, time served is required...accident or not. DCFS is involved with the children. They have made it hell to even keep the kids in family care. Family has ALWAYS been involved in their lives. Kim and Fjoder were heroes, saving those boysfrom harm and starvation. Unfortunately, as I see in my practice at a Children's Hospital, accidents happen on a daily basis. Yes, plenty end in death. And in some cases, like this one, the family is put through another battle for life after their child is gone. Opinions are great, and they belong to you. Unsupported by knowledge, facts, or truth though that's all they are. Ignorant opinions. May you and your families never have to endure the scathing tongues of stupid people in your life.

However, I cannot believe the inhumanity on display here. E. Case is the only one here calling this what it is. So some of you claim to know Ms. Emelyantsev. You say she's a good person. SO? The neighbors of serial killers always say the same thing, too. You didn't know her like you think you did; that much is transparently obvious. Did any of you bother to help her out with those kids? No, you were too busy going around blathering on the Internet about what a hero she was. I think she could have used some heroes herself. Certainly Kolya could have. One particularly benighted individual says the prosecutor had a "point" without saying what that point was (I think she has a point too, but if she wore a hat nobody would notice :-)). As a result I can't figure out what she was implying. But I don't need to. I know what the prosecutor's point was ... you can't get frustrated with an infant (AN INFANT FOR GOD'S SAKE) and drop him on his head to show him who's boss. That's what she admitted to in open court at her plea hearing, and she wouldn't have admitted to it IF SHE DIDN'T DO IT. You take a plea BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU ARE GUILTY OF SOMETHING. With supporters like these, it should be no surprise that Kimberly Emelyantsev thought she could do something and walk away (and probably adopt another child, I'll bet). She literally thought she could get away with murder. She's the only one who's guilty. But all you are RESPONSIBLE. You obviously weren't there for Kolya; it is SICKENING that you would suddenly come out for his killer (who should be doing life, at least). I, too, stumbled across this site.

Anybody who has dealt with our justice system, a prosecutor with a point to prove, or just has no money to defend themselves knows that sometimes people are put in a terrible position. Go to trial and risk spending most of your life in jail or take a plea because a child was hurt in your care and the law demands that some kind of restitution be paid. I have been made more aware of the ignorance of people making snap judgements and of the limited knowledge that the media twist into a story. My poor friend has been through so much. I am glad that the truth is out...she was innocent. As we said in the beginning, this was an accident and Kim is innocent.

Case has the facts way wrong. Kim Emelyantsev plead guilty to second degree negligent homicide, which is a far cry from murder. Pleading guilty doesn't mean you are guilty, it often means that you would rather take a few years in prision compared to going there innocently for the rest of your life. She will be sentenced at the beginning of August and I hope there is mercy, because those who know her know she is innocent. Strangers can speculate all they want and get most of the facts wrong. It was Nikolai who passed on, not Luka. Luka is alive and well and getting healthier by the day and is doing great. The three girls are happy and healthy when I saw them last week. E.
