Re: abandoned children

I watched it and was heart broken, those poor children, most of the children had been abandoned just for being blind or deaf. There was what were the "walkers" and those who couldnt walk mainly down to malnutrition there was around 75-80 children in this home the children couldnt talk they didnt know how they had never been spoken to! The carers( so called!) would only bath/shower dress and feed the children and change the nappies all the children sat in silence and rocked some sat on the potty for hours on end it saw 1 girl go in and she was led to believe her mum was going to come for her but that was never to be and there was nothing wrong with her except she was slightly autistic she would talk and everything and as the programme went on you saw her disintigrate and basicaly go mad she started sitting and rocking just like the rest of them.

They were fed the same slop everyday and thats how they became malnutritioned no vitimins no variation of food it was just shovelled into their mouths and then on to the next child, they looked like babies even though they were teens, they had no toys to play with alot of them couldnt even walk! One little girl was left with a broken leg and she was soo thin you could see the break in her leg and when the documentry lady asked about the leg the carers just said well its one of the side effects of her illness being so thin makes the bones brittle and warpped the poor child was screaming in pain while they changed her nappy and all they did was say ok, ok ill be done in a minute!

It was terrible i could not believe the conditions these children were kept in 2 boys helped with the laundry every day and everyday the male carer used to beat them neither child could talk so couldnt tell what was going on. The teenage girls were showered by male staff they would walk around naked until they were showered they got left to dry without towels then they had to pick from a bundle of clothes that belonged to the room where they slept.

It was awful really awful and the carers thought it was fine and as long as the children were fed and washed then they were ok.
