A woman who volunteered at an Aberdeen orphanage in the 1970s tried to hide a child's bed-wetting from nuns to spare him ridicule.
Margaret White was a teenage student at the University of Aberdeen and helped out at Nazareth House.
The 63-year-old told the Scottish Child Abuse inquiry she would clear away dirty sheets to stop a nine-year-old boy being verbally abused.
She said the child would be called "stupid" and "dirty".
The witness said she had never seen children being hit but she felt the way one boy was treated for bed-wetting was "wrong".
