I don't think libel cases will ensue as most of the sorry animals who did these things are dead.Most have made good lives for ourselves,some unfortunately have been unable to.I know of one lady,a model citizen, who has the most horrific nightmares.Nearly every night she is fighting off her abusers,screaming out"get off me,leave me alone".This abuse occured 50 years ago.She IS undergoing counselling.
The supervisors in those institutions were the ones,in most cases,perpetrating the abuse.The govt were supervising the supervisors,therfore they are the ones to be held accountable.
I am not taking legal action because i own my home.If i were to lose,i would be up for govt costs.This i cannot afford.Class actions cannot be taken until the statute of limitations is overturned.Once this occurs their could be a deluge.
If your children had been abused and you found out,even many years down the track,wouldn't you use whatever means available to seek justice?This fight is for the the people who have been unable to "get on with life".
Because of past abuse,some parents have been unable to have normal relationships with their children.In some cases feeling dirty if the kids climbed upon their knee.In some cases being far to strict and running their houses along the lines of an institution.If you haven't had a "normal childhood"you don't know how to deal with "normal life".
What happened to some in those places has affected later generations also.By normal,i mean not being sexually abused or having your bones broken by people you were entrusted to.We were little children who should have been cared for,NOT abused.
