An intellectually disabled boy became so angry at being repeatedly sexually abused by his school’s bus driver that he put a knife to the man’s face, an inquiry has been told.
“I wanted to kill him, I wanted him to die,” the now 38-year-old man told the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse on Monday, at its first Adelaide sitting.
The commission’s ninth case study is focused on events from 1986 to 1991 at St Ann’s Special School for children with intellectual disabilities.
It will investigate responses made by the South Australian police, the school and the Catholic Archdiocese of Adelaide to claims of child sexual abuse by Brian Perkins.
