The royal commission into child sexual abuse has heard a former resident of a children’s home in northern New South Wales felt intimidated and manipulated when she raised allegations of abuse with the Anglican Church.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse yesterday began its latest round of public hearings to examine the alleged sexual and physical abuse of up to 200 children at the North Coast Children’s Home in Lismore.
Today the commission heard from a third former resident of the home, and just like those who appeared yesterday she told a story of severe physical and sexual abuse.
The woman did not want to be named or to speak publicly, so instead told her story to the commission through a statement.
