Stood up for the children

The Orekhovo-Zuevsk City Prosecutor's Office opened a criminal case on the facts of cruel treatment of “abandoned” children in a local hospital, RIA Novosti reports. It has been established that since September 2006, the infectious diseases department of the First City Hospital has been housing two children abandoned by their parents: one-and-a-half-year-old Nastya and two-year-old Artem. Medical workers, not wanting to burden themselves with caring for abandoned children, simply tied them to their beds. One of the hospital patients managed to film these abuses on her mobile phone.
