A nun has told an inquiry she "slapped" children in her care at an orphanage but said she is "not aware" of beating a boy unconscious. The 73-year-old was giving evidence to the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry of her time at Smyllum Park orphanage in Lanark, South Lanarkshire, between 1969 and 1976.
The nun, who wishes to remain anonymous, was questioned over evidence of a resident at that time who said he was given a "proper hiding" after seeing her and another nun in an embrace in the boiler room.
