Detention no place for kids: Church abuse survivors

FIVE people met at a Maryville home on Sunday to talk about children, and the failure of moral leadership. David Owen, 76, Graham Rundle, 63, Bob O’Toole, 70, and Peter Gogarty, 55, were sexually abused as children in Catholic and Salvation Army orphanages and Catholic schools.
Audrey Nash, 89, grieves every day for her 13-year-old son who hanged himself in his bedroom, and whose teacher was a Catholic child sex offender.
