Cruelty claims

More than a quarter of people who alleged they were abused at a children’s home said they had told staff about the attacks while they were still in care, an inquiry has been told.

Was there any institution, anywhere, at any time, which took in children which did not operate as a mini concentration camp where the inmates were beaten, starved and raped? Any at all? Poor kids – it looks as if the only alternatives were to be abused by institution staff or abused by your family.

Smokeball You need to read William Quarrier’s book, his dream was to help the homeless children of Glasgow. Those that came to work there were those responsible for the abuse, like today’s people with power and money they will in many cases abuse anyone in some way or other to remain in power, a nasty human trait, so who’s watching the watchers?

What a horrible experience for those children. Not that the abuse is restricted to religious people but it does appear that there is a link between fundamental religion and sadistic cruelty.

I, aged five along with my two older sisters aged six and seven, entered Quarriers in 1957 after our father could not both work and look after us when our mother deserted us. We stayed for eight years. We suffered physical and emotional abuse for most of those years. Most of these house parents in our time were totally unfit to look after children. They received no training and thanks to this inquiry we have learned the only criteria needed for a job in Quarriers pre-1970s was to be a Christian.

Heartbreaking, but sadly it’s not unique; every place with vulnerable children including boarding school inmates saw them suffer similarly. Whenever adults are given absolute power over children you will find this kind of thing. killing of Blair Peach, these are just a handful of coverups by the establishment over the years.
