Social services in Northern Ireland have agreed to examine the handling of a child sex abuse case in the 1960s. The case emerged during testimony of a 57-year-old woman at the Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) inquiry.
As a young girl, she was put into the care of nuns at Nazareth House in Belfast on a number of occasions. The inquiry heard she was returned to her parents, despite the authorities knowing that she was being sexually abused in her family home.
