The three, Yolanda Tondreaux, Eliana Macias and Marcela Quitral, told Reuters TV they had reported the abuse to their mother superior but were told either that they were lying or had provoked the abuse and were threatened with being forced to leave the convent. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2DVC374 via Latest News
