The terrible toll that Marist Brothers abuse has taken on the Nash family

A 90-year-old grandmother has told the Royal Commission about the night her 13-year-old son killed himself in 1974, probably after being sexually abused by one of the brothers at his Catholic high school.
Audrey Nash spoke about how the Catholic church she had loved and served all her life had turned its back on her and how a senior figure in the Maitland-Newcastle diocese excused the behaviour of its paedophile members just three years ago by saying “it had been going on forever”.
