Allegations of Abuse
in Institutions |

Timaru Police are investigating
five allegations of historical abuse against staff at the Salvation Army's
Temuka Children's Home. Salvation Army spokesperson Robin
Forsyth says four men and one woman are alleging they were physically or
sexually abused at the Bramwell Booth Childrens Home in the 1970s. At this stage, neither the police
nor the Salvation Army are discussing the individual details of the
complaints. In August 2003 the church
acknowledged it had received 36 allegations of abuse, including the five
currently under investigation.
