Child Abuse: Russia - convent teens claim harsh abuse, cry for help

Prosecutors are to look into claims of child abuse at a convent in central Russia. Teenagers there say teachers beat them with belts, as well as depriving them of food and sleep - allegations the convent denies. There were similar accusations a year ago, but no evidence of abuse was found. RT's Irina Galushko reports from Vladimir region.
