Review of St Marthas Church Convent and former Children's Home from 4 May 2012
(updated on 10 May 2013 )
 I was resident at this home between 1969 and 1972. during that period I was also in craigielea children's home and at the children's shelter the hardgate Aberdeen, the dates are a bit mixed up due to the practices of gagging children who complained of rape in these homes and others. in this home, st  Marthas, were children who had turned to crime. in particular child prostitution and child pimps. most of the pimps in these homes were female. if you were already a prostitute male or female and compliant with st Marthas and other home's policies which was and still is,   "THE RULE OF SILENCE" covering child exploitation in the wider communities and especially of the sexual exploitation by paedophiles who worked in these homes, you were allowed to continue as a prostitute/pimp. if not you were gagged with medications and labelled mentally incompetent the latter is purely to discredit your character and facilitate the lies about children being prone to exaggerate and seek attention and gain/profit in some way from these stories/allegations. I was recruited in this institution by an adult I believe to have been a nun who would use a stimulant in a syrup form such as "TEMAZEPAM".........  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temazepam#History      this would be introduced gradually and I can assure you it has a very  pleasurable and moreish  affect on the victim and of course it is very sweet. the next stage is to apply the substance to body parts of the instructress or instructor F/M. beginning with the finger of course and it also includes applying it to areas on the child's person. this is progressive, instructive and leads to the child becoming comfortable and addicted to the substance and "PLAY" of licking and sucking the substance off the adult.  so that and beatings occurred here between 1969 and 1972. most children who volunteered their silence in exchange for favours and deals "NOT JUST DRUGS AND TRICKS" but better treatments and transfers to other homes could live comfortably and do well in the future. do what I did and complain about certain aspects of the exploitation most likely during a moment of need for more!? and you are in for a very rough time including beatings getting cut  and cannot look forward to a healthy comfortable life ahead. and on two occasions in two other homes two children died as a result of the "gagging".         just yesterday I received an award of £2000.00  for the abuse of being punished by receiving a beating with a wire brush. this was the lesser of all the evils committed against me and other children in this institution and other homes. I stated that before the decision as the police had accepted the physical abuse occurred but would not even comment on the sexual exploitation nor the gagging and subsequent deaths that I witnessed and endured in the care of the care services between 1969 and 1982. I will post the document  later on another page.
