A mother who wed her son, 22, eliminates custody of her 5 adopted children

A mother who married her adopted son, who’s 31 years younger than her, has admitted that she failed in the fight to retain her other 5 children. When 53-year-old musician Aisylu Chizhevskaya Mingalim married her 22-year-old adoptive son, Daniel Chizhevsky, child welfare specialists were horrified and astonished.

In a restaurant in Kazan, Tatarstan Republic, Russia, the pair exchanged promises last Friday, October 20. When Daniel was only thirteen years old, the two met. Daniel had been under Aisylu’s care since he was 14 years old; she had adopted him from an orphanage and taught him to sing. Authorities from child welfare have already removed 5 more adoptive children from Aisylu’s custody.
