Breaking the Silence, 60 Minutes Exposing The Truth About Boystown Much respect for the men that have come forth, I wish you and your family's nothing but the best. From
the 1960's until 2001, hundreds of troubled boys, or those who were
placed in the care system were sent to Boystown - a residential school
near Beaudesert.
Last night, 60 Minutes aired allegations that
boys as young as 12 who were sent to Boystown were routinely subjected
to strip searches and sexual and physical abuse. We thought it
was a haven, a model school where disadvantaged young boys and Catholic
brothers all lived together as one big happy family.
