I've recently read that they often find missing children drowned in outhouses because a huge portion of people in Russia doesn't have access to normal WCs.

- pavel_lishin 8y agoThis is a great new retroactive nightmare for me, thanks.
- betaby 8y agoSurely you have a proof of your statement?
- qwerty456127 8y agoE.g. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fnewsland.com%2Fuser%2F4297710442%2Fcontent%2Fv-liza-alert-rasskazali-skolko-detei-utonulo-v-derevenskikh-tualetakh%2F6711293 https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A... The article says 22.6% of Russians don't have access to central sewage according to the official data and seven children have been found drowned this way in 2018.
- quassnoi 8y agoLack of access to central sewage system does not necessarily imply a lack of a "normal WC". This figure includes households which use individual sewage systems ending up in septic tanks or cesspools, and is not significantly larger than 20% of the U.S. households that don't have access to a centralized sewer either: https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/tiff2png.cgi/P1004624.PNG?-r+75+-g+7+D%3A%5CZYFILES%5CINDEX%20DATA%5C06THRU10%5CTIFF%5C00000431%5CP1004624.TIF https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/tiff2png.cgi/P1004624.PNG?-r+75+-g... Of course latrines are a thing in rural Russia and, sadly, children do drown in them, but this article does not support your original claim.
- lisnake 8y agoI wouldn't call a rural portion huge, but, sadly this still happens. About 5 known cases in last year
- qwerty456127 8y agoThat's not just about the rural, many minor cities have this problem too as far as I know. But I haven't been to there to check myself (and actually hesitate to).
- mathgladiator 8y agoToday, I learned that WC means water closet.
