Marleen's story and others have destroyed to many lives and family generations
I was in Hay for nine months, 365 girls, in thirteen years went threw that Concentration camp, one died in transit. Why?
injuries from bushing's, psychotic drug Largatral, fear of being sent to Hay. Is there postmortem for that girl? It was State run.
Reading John Murray's "From the cradle to the grave"
Government and Child Welfare could do any thing to nobody's child.
Child Welfare and Governments of those days should be responsible for the seven young girls that suicided at a very young age that went threw that nine months with me at Hay.
State Archives files on Parramatta Girls home & Hay Institution for girls are closed for seventy years, "to protect us girls" we were told.
State Archives have our medication records, punishment records.
isolation lock ups, detention records. Would be easy for all to prove the abuse and inhumane acts we suffered.
Instead we are put threw hell again to prove our stories to break the statue limitations. Records should be supenered.
Be accountable for what they did.
The protection is for the government and Welfare system and the animals they employed to "care" abuse and rape us.
V.Amberlee .It was not just guts Marleen had, it was knowing right from wrong, standing up for another child black or white, survival and loyalty was what she got punished for and sent to Hay.
Marleen has used her knowledge and survival in helping other children, no book, Marleen used her experience and should be proud, after no childhood, no family connection, losing her brothers and living her chilhood in voilent sadistic Institutions, It wasn't only her childhood taken it was her life. How could any one have such a tragic existence and not have life long trauma. The demons and injustices are always lurking. appear when you least expect it to in every day life.
