When I first listened to this tape... I thought it was me... my god... how could they do this to us little children... it was the same world over... and we could not stop the nuns... from doing what they did to us...

Your identity was taken away.. your name was changed... and you were given a number.

You were broken down... and utterly at their mercy... Not only sex abuse of children... but allowing misery upon misery... to be heaped upon children... of a physical... and psychological nature... by religious people... nuns... priest... and their workers... every day and night... Ann

Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: .... Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: .. Matthew 25:41-46, KJV

Abuse Victims Too Scared to Speak to Inquiry

by Ann Free Spirit ⌂ @, Whangarei New Zealand, Friday, August 10, 2012, 15:29 (282 days ago) @ Ann Free Spirit

A former Victorian sex crimes squad detective says many clergy abuse victims are too scared to make submissions to a State parliamentary inquiry, reports the ABC.

Glen Davies is heading a forum in Ballarat next week to help people better understand the submission process.

A state-wide inquiry was launched earlier this year after it was revealed more than 40 Victorians have committed suicide after being abused by clergy.

Mr Davies says many victims are worried about how their stories will be used. "They're absolutely terrified," he said.

Yes any one can write to them... they will take all into account... the men and women in Australia need all the help they can get... I sent me story over to Australia... around three years ago... or more... that is why Nazareth House... and St. Joseph Girls orphanage... and St. Joseph Boys Orphanage are in the book... every one in Australia.. should now... be putting pen to paper... and letting the inquiry... know just how bad... the abuse... and the sexual abuse... by NUNS, priest, monks... brothers... and their workers were like...

it should be for all of the abuse which was done... by any one... within the catholic system.... it is for all of Australia... not just one part... if not... I would get in there Macbee... and write any way... and ask why it is not... write to the papers... write to any one you know... who was abused... and sexual abused... like three years ago... they will go by the numbers... that is what they do...

it is Australia last chance... and all of Australia must act upon it... if they don't this time... it is their fault... if it all falls through...

Australia must act now... and not just talk... that has being done... it is action time... to get out there and put their face... in the papers... on TV... around the world... they must get every one involved... get banners made up... have marches... and get the whole families in with them...

If Australia sets on her hands... nothing will be done... to help them... Ann
