MICK WATERS AND JERSEY ABUSE
Regarding Mick Waters "lengthy and emotional meetings" with Jersey "survivors", I would urge anyone interested to check out the website www.ultimatedisposal.com where they will find plenty of lengthy and emotional articles by Mr. Waters and his friends on the subject of child abuse in Ireland. It is impossible to give a summary of the site contents but a visit will prove to be an enlightening experience.
Abuse victims 'fear curb on police'
Jersey Evening Post, 19 August 2008 by Elaine Byrne
IT has been claimed that victims of Haut de la Garenne are afraid that the Island's authorities will prevent the police from investigating historical child abuse properly.
After lengthy and emotional meetings with the survivors of children's homes in the Island, Mick Waters, the founder and chairman of Survivors of Child Abuse, has said that many of the alleged victims 'fear authority' and want an opportunity to tell their stories.
Mr Waters (64), pictured, a survivor of the notorious Artane Industrial Boys School in Ireland, who claims to have suffered mistreatment and abuse at the hands of the Christian Brothers, is also urging the people of Jersey to offer support and to listen to the sufferers. And he believes that a public apology is needed to help Jersey address its child abuse scandal.
