One of the Sisters of Nazareth
who staffed a children’s home in Derry has denied allegations of
physical, emotional and psychological abuse of boys under her care.
The
nun, the first to answer questions at the abuse inquiry since it began
public hearings in January, denied she ever hit any child or lost her
temper. She further denied children were ridiculed or mocked by her for
running away or wetting the bed. Allegations of ritual humiliation were
also rejected by her.
