This is horrific to read: children in their care abused, tormented and traumatised. I am glad they finally got their justice, but it took way too long.
Absolutely awful.
I’m sure this incident is just a one-off, a few bad apples… blah blah blah
Wait until they get around to Merton Hall in Newtown Stewart, although they may wait until Liz Davies dies first.
Former Nuns,now UTTER VILE CUNTS
They dished out life sentences when they abused these children. I hope the judge remembers this when he is handing out their sentences.
Ah, but they’re sanctioned by their god. They can do no wrong.
It’s our fault they look like a bunch of cunts.
It’s aways the ones you most expect.
A former work colleague still had regular nightmares decades after experiencing abuse at a children’s home in the 70s and early 80s. The multitude of physical scars were nothing in comparison to the psychological trauma. They were on medication for depression and anxiety which allowed them to function fairly well in society, but it was very clear that they were vulnerable. These vile individuals responsible for this torture need to know just how badly their behaviour has impacted innocent people’s lives. Who on earth would purposely seek to harm a child, and especially one who has- through no fault of their own- ended up in a care setting.
Good to see them in court and found guilty, they must have believed they were untouchable all those years ago.
I do wonder what made those women like that, I wonder if the nuns recruited from among those they abused, creating another generation of abusers. I’m sure I’ve read of that being the case before. That’s not an attempt to diminish their crimes, just trying to understand them.
What is it with fucking nuns?
I’ve heard so many of these horror stories over the years and it always seems to be nuns. I remember Nazareth House being mentioned years ago with (I think) a totally different abuse scandal as well.
Evil, vile bitches
Why does it only go back as far as 1972? Abuse was happening long before that.
God should get a fkn leash on his wives.
Always the ones you most expect
My Dad was brought up a Catholic in pre WW2 Germany, he told me that he had religion beaten out of him by Nuns.
One of my mum’s pals was deaf, nuns at Nazareth House had poured hot oil in her ears to treat an infection when she was small. Absolutely barbaric.
I’m shocked I tell you, shocked! Well not that shocked.
It certainly lines up with what my mother always told me about her experience with nuns. As far as she’s concerned they’re all bitter, twisted women.
How unsurprising.
You know they did much worse, that’s all they can pin on them. Disgusting humans.
