ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — The Mount Cashel lawsuit is not about money — it’s to finally see local church officials held responsible for horrific abuse at the orphanage, a plaintiff said Wednesday as the case neared an end.
“I would really like to see that the church will be proven derelict in their duty to looking after youngsters,” said the man, now in his 70s, who can’t be identified under a court order.
“How can you hurt a child?” he asked. “I’ll stay until I see that they have been brought to task.”
He spoke outside provincial Supreme Court after closing arguments started Wednesday in the civil action led by former residents who claim church officials ignored repeated reports of sexual and physical attacks.
