“Playing TCC”: children at Bulgarian camp beat and suffocated the son of a Hero of Ukraine

At a sports camp run by the Ring school, during a hockey team trip to Bulgaria, children beat and suffocated a 10-year-old boy with a pillow — the son of Ukrainian serviceman and Hero of Ukraine Pavlo Sevryuk.

The incident was reported by Tsensor.

According to the boy’s mother, prosecutor Natalya Sevryuk, the children called what happened a game of “TCC.”

“One of the boys held Tymofiy by the legs, another suffocated him with a pillow. The third was the coach’s son — he stood nearby and laughed. That was their game, called ‘TCC.’ They turned my child into a ‘draft dodger,'” — Natalya Sevryuk said.

In addition to this incident, the publication learned of another child from the same Ring sports school who was also subjected to bullying by the same group of children. His mother said the boy was beaten on the ice, including blows to the head. After four years of remission, he suffered an epileptic seizure.

A commission of the sports school, following its review of the situation, concluded that neither bullying nor the suffocation episode had taken place. The coach refused to comment on the substance of what happened, citing the secrecy of the investigation.

The police and prosecutor’s office are currently conducting inquiries into these facts.
