Muscovite Tatyana Maksimova, whose daughter has lived in a medical center for five years, wrote a letter in which she explained her constant non-appearances in court. At the hearing on the possible restriction of the parents' rights, her lawyer read out this letter. The full text was published by the Takie Dela portal.

“In July 2019, I was diagnosed with third-degree skin melanoma with metastases in the lymph nodes,” the message says.
After the operation, she recovered within 3.5 months. During the same period, chemotherapy was carried out. Studies that a Muscovite conducted at the end of November 2019 identified the cause of cancer - constant stress.
- I have submitted applications and complaints to all law enforcement agencies in Moscow. I ask the court to respect my state of health, to take into account that I am being treated and the negative phenomena during treatment are temporary, - writes Maksimova.
She added that she herself wants to participate in the process in order to answer all questions and explain the situation.
- I want to clarify that I fulfill my parental duties in full, despite the seriousness of my illness, and I do not refuse my daughter, - concluded the Muscovite.
We will remind, for the first time about the fate of the girl became known in January 2019. Then the employees of the perinatal center "Mother and Child", where the child is, first applied to the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population. Since March of last year, the center has been in litigation with the child's parents, demanding that the girl be taken from the medical institution. Previously, lawsuits were filed to restrict parental rights of the girl's parents, but they were eventually rejected.
The guardianship authorities had no reason to take the child away from the parents, since nothing threatened her health and life. In December last year, the department of social protection of the population of the Arbat district of the Central Administrative District of the capital filed a lawsuit to restrict the parental rights of Tatyana Maksimova and Yuri Zinkin.
At the end of January this year, the Gagarinsky Court of Moscow ordered parents to take their daughter home from the clinic. However, this decision was not enforced. Representatives of the medical institution claim that the bailiffs could not find the girl's father and mother at any of the known addresses.
All these years, her parents regularly paid for the child's living in a separate ward, as well as the services of two nannies, who were with the child around the clock, regularly worked with her. During all five years of his life, the child received all the necessary treatment and education.
