Presbyterian Support
Central has agreed to meet representatives of complainants alleging historic
abuse at the Berhampore Children's Home in Wellington. About 15 former
residents say they were sexually abused by the home's former manager, Walter
Lake, who died before charges could be laid. Presbyterian Support
ran the home where the abuse was alleged to have taken place in the 1950s and
'60s but has said it should not be legally responsible. It's the first time a
face-to-face meeting's to be held between the two sides. Presbyterian
Support says it's taking the complaints very seriously and will give them
full and respectful consideration. |
