Nazi mum jailed for locking 'Mowgli' daughter, 6, in home from hell with 19 cats

A Nazi-supporting mother has been jailed for allowing her emaciated six-year-old daughter to be raised as a Mowgli girl.

The naked, hungry child named Datse was found by shocked police crawling on all fours in dirt and faeces in a house-from-hell with 19 cats.

Yurate-Alprika Raine, 35, has been convicted of the torture of the minor by a Russian court.

She could not talk and reacted only to catcalling, thinking her name was ‘Kitty-Kitty’ and she survived mainly on cat food.

The cruel mother left her alone in a windowless room where she arranged for a male pensioner to bring her food, when he fed the cats.

The mother lived elsewhere in a smart flat with her elder daughter, 12.

Before her conviction, she told a TV show: “I admit I paid more attention to my eldest child.

“I raised my youngest daughter until there was a change in her character, when she was three.”

The mother said she was “confused” and shut Datse away with cats, with the man bringing food.

Raine came once every five or seven days to clear up the mess.

The girl had never been to a doctor, school or seen by social services.

Raine, who formerly worked as an escort and was pictured as a Hitler-saluting neo-Nazi, was deprived of her rights to raise both daughters.

She was jailed for three years.

NTV reported when she was found “the emaciated girl looks three years old, younger than her actual age of six.

“The man in the house is allegedly her godfather.

“The child was moving on all fours, lived with cats, was eating cat food, and responded to cat calls.”

Vladimir Putin’s children’s ombudswoman Anna Kuznetsova said the sight of the neglected child was “hard on the heart”.

The child had no clothes and was in a worrying state.

"There were no hygiene products in the house and the conditions were unsanitary," she said.

"The girl was taken to a medical facility.”
