This is something I heard in the local news today, and it made me damn pissed. Some people may speak a lot about the flaws of justice system in USA and Western Europe, but at elast in no civilized country stuff like this would ever happen. This really, really smells like some Soviet time 'justice'.
Here in Latvia, there's a center for raising children, whatever it's called. They are children that are either orphans, or can't be raised with their parents for some other reason. Some kids have been born with some sort of illness. Most of them are only seldom visited by some relatives. Aha, found more precise info: this particular center mostly holds children born with some illnesses (not disabled physically, but ill nonetheless), aged 4-18.
Now, in one of these centers, called "Vegi" (actually, "Veìi"), there have been incidents of children torture. Mainly, two people have been committing it repeatedly. This includes beating kids up, doing things like seizing their neck with boths hands and lifting them in the air like that (BTW, kills infants insantly), and other stuff. This is mind you even with small children aged like 8!
In older groups, they did 'combat smoking'. They caught some guys, and forced them to smoke many cigarettes, after which gave them water with salt, which causes heavy vomiting. Beatings with rubber sticks for something the teachers (whatever they should be called) considered 'wrong' were common. A boy who 'ate too much at dinner' got a bawl of pourage into his face. Many times kinds have been tied to some bed/batteries using handcuffs and left like that for several hours.
Now, guess what the worst part is. Today, the court case against two people from Veìi was finished. They were not sentecned to anything. Actually, they would get 6 months in jail, but because of crime expiration terms, they got nothing. Just a fine of 69,95 Ls (roughly 114 USD) to compensate for court expenses...
Now, I'm seriously disgusted. Some of the victims have had very serious, possibly irreversible mental damage caused to them. Imagine a sick child who has gone through months of torture like that! And now those fu*kers get absolutely nothing for their actions. This is not to say that no police interferred or bothered to do a thing when there were first reports of events in Veìi.
