A survivor of Canada's worst child abuse scandal is calling for a public inquiry into the horrors faced by him and other residents of the Mount Cashel orphanage in Newfoundland and all other Christian Brothers organizations. The St. Johns man wants a truth commission similar to the one that Natives received for there schooling problems. He wants it so that him and other survivors can tell their stories of terror. He believes that we should follow the lead of Ireland who also spoke out against the Christian Brothers association.
Christian Brothers are one of the worst run schools I have ever heard of. These schools and anyone involved should have to give reparations to the people who had to suffer through these terrible events. I just hope they are given their truth commission.
