I&#039;m reaching out on behalf of my uncle who passed 18 years ago, my mum his sister was his next of kin. He was sent to this school in 1969. He often compared his time here to the movie &#039;Sleepers&#039; he spoke of  awful abuse and it really did shape his life after leaving.  We are trying to get his records. As a family we would like to do anything possible to help those victims still alive today in memory of him. He didn&#039;t see justice but we will carry that torch for him to help others. My email is Chezzymillsy88@gmail.com if anyone has any information on how to help going forward please feel free to reach out.]]></description>
