Since 1976, I am still waiting for an apology from my Government of Canada.
The same Government who says, we believe in Human Rights, Dignity and Respect
to all Canadians, or all people who live in Canada.
I just turned 51 years old, till this day, I am suffering from the affects of the abuse I was subjected too from 1974 to 1976 at the hands employees school staff and supervisors, .At Brookside Training School in Cobourg, Ontario.
33 years I have been silent, now it is time to speak out, get my voice heard and not been hidden away like a well used broom.
I want justice not only for myself, but all the people what have suffered endless beatings ,sexual ,emotional abuse, been raped over and over again, by filthy men , Face what are etched in my mind till this day, some are probably dead now, perhaps some are still alive.
Like Ray Elders, or Dave Thomas, you know who you are.As far as I know only 2 people were ever charged, "Ray Elders" was only convicted. What about the rest of them???
In 1997 interviewed more than 3,000 former training school residents and employees living across Canada now you can do the math, where are the results of the investigations, again the Police and the Government of Canada have failed us, to get Justice.
I am a victim and a survivor of your system, I am not the only one still out there.
I am looking for all survivors of all
