Eugene Kapustina, 61, says she was asked to look after her grandson Vova, six, while his parents went to a different city to look for work. Kapustina says the pair promised they would send money home but had now been gone for a year without contacting her once. Footage shows the distressed child sitting on the floor by the cash desks where he was approached by the security guard Ahmed Izmaylov after he noticed that the child seemed to be unaccompanied. He said: 'I approached him and he started to cry and saw that he had a small bag with a few possessions and a note saying please look after me.' The boy has been placed in a temporary orphanage and police say he will stay there until they can find his parents. Once they have interviewed them, a decision can be made on the child's future.
