Young Russian's elevator stunt sparks global mockery

Surveillance footage from a Russian lift has gone global, all because of a little boy who wanted to become a local bad boy. When cursing didn't help, his urine came into play. Moments of being a gangster will cost the boy’s family dearly.

Children’s play often gets out of their parents' control. Neighbourhood gangs of ten-year-olds attack girls having picnics with dolls on the lawn, and groups of football players take control of the playgrounds and almost all green areas. Childhood rebellion is funny to everyone except the parents who have to deal with children who want to do everything their own way and contrariwise.

Social media worldwide circulated a video from a lift in Krasnodar. In the video, you can see a boy who first sings, jumps, and curses. Then, the child commits an act of vandalism by urinating on the lift console. The local bad boy did not foresee that urine could cause the lift to malfunction and stop.

The lift’s stoppage scared the child, who began nervously pressing the previously urinated-on buttons and then touching his head, hair, and face, thereby smearing his urine everywhere he could. Ultimately, police officers arrived at the scene and freed the boy. His 30 seconds of being a vandal will have consequences. The child’s family must pay for the lift repairs. The exact amount is not known.
