The Salvation Army has been urged to ‘step up’ and ensure the ongoing welfare of boys sexually abused in its care rather than just offer one-off compensation payments.
Graham Rundle says victims like him should be helped with ongoing expenses like dental and medical bills and with accommodation and counselling.
‘The fear of being old with these financial burdens is very real for many victims,’ Mr Rundle has told the Royal Commission into child abuse.
‘They (the Salvation Army) should be made to step up in this way as they are the cause of our problems.’
