MOSCOW — Prosecutors said Thursday they are investigating allegations that workers at a central Russian hospital taped infants' mouths shut to keep them from crying, in a scandal that has sparked widespread outrage.
In a second incident, prosecutors in the Far Eastern city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk said they had opened a criminal probe at a kindergarten where an employee gave unauthorized injection to children to help them sleep. According to a BBC report, all or some of the babies were orphans.

The alleged mouth-taping at Hospital No. 15 in the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg, about 900 miles east of Moscow, has received wide coverage in the Russian media.
According to a statement posted on the prosecutor general's Web site, investigators found that hospital workers allegedly used tape or adhesive bandages to shut the mouths of infants on several occasions to quiet them.

Saw this earlier. Just sickening.
They always mix things up. They were told to tape the bottoms [re: diapers], and what do they do?
LOL
Curious and maybe this is a dumb question but is abortion legal in Russia?
Where's that picture of Al Gore screaming with the duct tape over his mouth?
These people should be hung for doing that to a baby.
Nothing surprises me anymore.....They need to do this in congress to say "Fat Teddy". You'd need a whole roll to go around that Gigantic head.
I don't know.
They were being encouraged by Martin Sheen who knows that taping someone's mouth shut shows a desire for world peace.
And what do our Leftie pals here say about this?
Nothing. they are busy trolloping around their silly antiwar marches! Oh, and extolling the virtues of "peoples regimes" ...just as they did in the 40's, 50's..etc.
Tonite Whoopie Goldberg ( a very dumb and unfunny people) was having an 'argument" with Oreilly and her side of the argument was "That's how I feel. I feel things and thats a valid response."
I give up!
I don't much about child-rearing or caring for children, but I do know this; if a baby is crying, it's for a good reason.
Hey, this is just another cultural diversity that we must tolerate and not be phobic of. Let's embrace all colors of the rainbow. /s
