EPISODE 608 GIN, WHISKY AND CHILD ABUSE — DARK ENGRAVING

Ron N. asked me to find the articles I wrote about the Home children. Found on episodes 398 and 399.
At the same time this engraving popped up but was not printed as an Episode. Notice the connection between alcohol
and child abuse. If you want more graphic material on the Home Child movement then consult
Dr. Barnardo…the trail you will then follow will be upsetting. Be warned.
SOME readers will remember this cartoon. Others will find it new.
The full story of the abuse and more abuse of the Home Children has yet to be told. Perhaps I should
tell all I know and put others on the trail. It will not be a pleasant unravelling. One summer I flew to
Liverpool and was given access to some of the records. What an eye-opener … I could have spent
a lifetime there. But my access was terminated as I have no family root in the Home Child story.
I did learn more than I wanted to know about Alfred de brissic
Owen however. (spelling ?) Strange that his role in the Home Child movement in Canada
has never been explored. Nasty.
