Teenager Brutally Abused a Disabled Girl

A shocking court case in Samara. A 17-year-old boy tortured his visually impaired peer for two hours—beating her with a metal pipe, forcing her to drink from a puddle, and setting her hair on fire—while his sister and her 30-year-old fiancé filmed instead of helping. The victim, Dasha, suffered a broken arm, a serious head injury, and permanent hearing loss in one ear. The case moved only after an appeal to Investigative Committee chief Alexander Bastrykin. This episode examines bystander complicity, institutional delays, and what justice can look like for a disabled teenager and her family.
