FORMER Neerkol Orphanage resident Mary Adams could never be whole again. The "cracks" of severe trauma from her childhood, when she was a
resident at St Joseph's Orphanage in Neerkol, prevented her from being
so.
Those cracks were the permanent scars she received, from the physical,
sexual and psychological abuse, at the orphanage between the 1950s and
1960s. Mary, 64, along with her brother and sister, were placed there in 1951 after her mother fell into financial difficulties.
