Roman Afanasyev, a Russian father of two, is an adrenaline junkie. He often puts himself in dangerous situations just for the thrill of it.
It’s plain stupid and irresponsible to put your life in jeopardy for fun, but to do so with your child is just cruel, despicable and infuriating.
In the picture below, you can see Roman holding his oldest daughter by just one leg and dangling her upside down from the edge of the roof of a high-rise building. This makes my blood boil.
In a separate video circulating on Facebook, the father is seen driving at full speed while holding his baby daughter out of the window with one arm. Unbelievable.
When confronted by the police, Roman first claimed that the stunts were made using a doll — but eventually he confessed it was in fact his daughter.
“He did not explain his actions,” Olga Shimanskaya, an investigator of the case, told the Siberian Times. “He only stated that he controlled everything and did not put the child at risk.”
Roman usesIt’s his oldest daughter, born in 2015, in his pictures and videos. The younger daughter, who was born this year, seems to have so far been able to avoid being a part of her dad’s violent and heartless stunts.
Roman is currently on trial for his acts and if he is convicted he could face up to three years in prison.
It’s unfathomable that adults can behave this way and put their own children through such barbaric and cruel actions. This man should not be allowed to have custody over his daughters.
This is an unpleasant story but we feel it’s important that people are aware that cruelty towards young children happens everywhere and all the time.
Below is the video of Roman holding his daughter out of the window while driving. Waning: Some readers might find the images distressing.
