By a campfire at a school retreat, a 10-year-old boy sings Fire and
Rain, James Taylor's sad and sweet ballad of the times. It is 1972. The
boy is John Saunders, the youngest of nine children from a Catholic
family that loves to sing. Listening are schoolmates from Marist
Brothers Primary, Mosman, and a lay teacher in whom John has found a
friend, a man he has come to love and trust.
Twenty-five years later, in March 1997, Saunders will recall this evening while making a statement to police, detailing how the teacher betrayed that trust. And in December that year, Saunders will describe his spiral into depression to an eminent clinical psychologist commissioned by the Marist Brothers.
