Missing 15-year-old. No leads yet, may have left due to a phone

Information about the disappearance was received by the police on Saturday around 7:00 AM, after which a large-scale search was organized. More than two hundred people are participating in the operation: the entire staff of the Pinsk District Department of Internal Affairs, rescuers from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, volunteer squads "Vitsiaz" and "Pantera", as well as local residents and employees of OJSC "Parakhonskae".

Description of the teenager: slender, 160-165 cm tall, short black hair. Was wearing a gray knitted hat, a khaki-colored jacket, gray jeans, and black combat boots.

Anyone with any information is asked to report it by phone: +375 44 769-18-08 or 102.

A volunteer from the "Pantera" search squad told an Onlíner journalist that currently about 200 people are involved in the search.

Search operation map

— Foot groups have surveyed 400 hectares of settlements, including the agro-town of Parakhonsk, more open areas, and forest massifs. Mobile groups have surveyed 100 kilometers of linear landmarks — with the help of special equipment, quad bikes, and off-road vehicles. Drones have surveyed 500 hectares of open areas, including water bodies. All directions continue to be worked on.

Volunteers during the search

According to the volunteer, Bahdan is characterized as open and communicative; he has no health peculiarities (including mental ones). It is known that the boy was raised in a foster family — a family-type children's home.

— Were there any previous cases of him running away from home?

— As far as I know, there is no such information.

— Are there any leads?

— All possible versions are being worked out. At the moment, I cannot comment: there is information that we are still verifying today. Of course, conversations have already been held with classmates, homeroom teachers — there are no leads there.

— Have you managed to find a physical trace of the boy?

— Not at the moment. The situation is complicated by the weather conditions: it's snowing. The traces that appear are not confirmed. If we find something, we identify it, but we cannot say for sure that these are Bahdan's traces. Nevertheless, they are worked out to the end.

— Are there any reports coming in from people?

— Yesterday three reports came in — all of them were processed immediately. A similar person was seen in Pinsk — several crews of the District Department of Internal Affairs and even the State Automobile Inspectorate arrived at the scene within approximately a minute. But the information was not confirmed — the boy turned out to be different. Reports are coming in, people are vigilant, calling, writing, taking photos if they see someone matching the description.

— Is there a possibility that Bahdan could have gone to Minsk or outside Belarus?

— It's entirely possible. The boy is old enough, so such an option is not ruled out.

Journalists also contacted a volunteer from the "Vitsiaz" search squad, who confirmed that all possible versions are being worked out.

— Is it known which way Bahdan went, or if he was with friends?

— No, he was alone.

The interlocutor also confirmed the information that the boy is being raised in a family-type children's home.

— Is it known if there was any conflict? Bahdan left home at 9 PM.

— Because of a phone. I didn't quite understand: either it was taken away from him, or it wasn't bought for him.

According to the volunteer, Bahdan had no previous cases of running away from home. He studies well at school and plays sports.

    Да какие зацепки, спадзяюся в гэтым выпадку ўсё абыдзецца . Юнак пакрыўдзіўся наконт телефона . Хаваецца каб " адпомсціць " за крыўду .
    15 гадоў , ды ня знойдзеш калі ён сам ня захоча .

    Паехау да продкау, якiя ад яго адмовiлiсь. Там трэба шукаць.
    Тут яму "дрэнна", як ён лiчыць, а вось ТАМ яго увесь гэты час "любiлi i любяць". Сам вернецца, калi зразумее, што ТАМ ён нiкому не патрэбен.
