At the age of 13, Gordon Myers allegedly woke up to find ‘blood everywhere’ after his teacher performed a botched circumcision because he ‘didn’t like little boys with foreskins.’
Mr Myer’s, 50, attended Daruk Training School in Windsor, a Sydney boys’ home in 1978, for five years during which he claims he was raped and bashed by some staff, the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse heard.
A member of the school performed the illegal circumcision after claiming to have received permission, reported the Mercury.
‘He knocked me out with a needle and I woke up in the middle of it and there was (a second staff member there as well), I screamed in pain. …
The revelations of this shocking alleged abuse come as victims criticise Cardinal George Pell for postponing his royal commission appearance due to ill-health.
Cardinal Pell was to appear before the child abuse royal commission in Melbourne next week but will now front a Ballarat sitting in February.
Stephen Woods was among victims of pedophile priests outraged by Cardinal Pell’s attempt to give his evidence via videolink from Rome next week, due to a worsened heart condition.
‘Being held in February, that’s fine, but of course the victims are still waiting,’ Mr Woods told reporters.
