According to authorities, this was an extreme reaction to COVID-19, "The head of the family said that they had gone into the forest, in order to save themselves from the coronavirus Covid-19. The family took with them a some basic provisions, a cell phone, and were planning to return periodically to the village for groceries. The family was in the forest for just a day, the children slept on tree branches in the open air and ate the products that they had brought with them."
I think the intention was positive, but it immediately became negative after Police found out, "The parents have been charged under Part 1 of Article 5.35 of the Code of Administrative Offenses for non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment by parents or other legal representatives of minors of obligations to look after, educate, protect the rights and interests of minors."
In some way this makes me think about people I know wanting to escape to Northern Michigan. More here.
