Allegations
of Abuse in Institutions |
|
The Salvation Army has
begun paying compensation to people claiming to have been abused as children
while in its care. At least two people from former children's homes have had
claims settled and others are considering offers. Complainants are believed
to have received about $8000. One woman was offered more than $20,000, but
has not accepted. The Salvation Army is investigating at least 36 formal complaints
of physical or sexual abuse, mostly from the 1940s and 1950s. |
