The disabled children locked up in cages

Nine-year-old Jenny stands and rocks backwards and forwards, staring through the bars of a wooden cage.

When the door is unlocked she jumps down on to the stone floor and wraps her arms tightly around the nurse. But a few minutes later she allows herself to be locked back in again without a fuss.

She is used to her cage. It's been her home since she was two years old.

Just read this on the Beeb before spotting this thread.  Utterly shocking.  I thought Greece might have learnt from the Leros scandal.   :oki:

Greece never learns from any of its mistakes and never will.

Inside, one child had been restrained by tying their hands behind their back in a laid-down position

Many others had both hands and feet shackled to their beds, and were locked behind bars
