Two 12-year-old children have been removed from their parents in Dushanbe’s Sino district by court order and placed in Boarding School No. 1, the city’s Police Department reported.
According to police, the children had repeatedly been taken into custody for vagrancy and begging.
“Despite strict warnings, the parents continued to show negligence and involved the children in begging, using the money obtained for personal purposes,” the statement said.

Measures provided for Article 73 of Tajikistan’s Family Code were applied to the parents. The children are currently in a boarding school, where they are provided with conditions for education, upbringing, and further development.
Earlier, police in Dushanbe’s Shohmansour district also detained a 16-year-old подросток engaged in vagrancy and suspected of theft.
Authorities said the situation resulted from a lack of proper parental supervision and responsibility. Similar measures under Article 73 — which allows for the removal of a child without termination of parental rights — were applied.
The teenager has been sent to a specialized vocational lyceum in Dushanbe, where he is now participating in educational and rehabilitation programs.
