Jock, Mike And Phil 1970's
A Memory of Taxal.
I was at Taxal edge in the 1970's, we were told it was a convalescent home and we went as our Mothers thought it was good for our Asthma, me(Jock) my brother Mike and friend Phil. I don't know what happened but it was NOT a convalescent home, was a concentration camp, horrific treatment, knife-fights amongst the inmates etc I was in fear for my life. Our Mums visited and we begged to leave, they wrongly thought at first we were just being soft. I get the impression from reading other comments on blogs, there was violence, staff and inmates and sexual abuse, I only saw violence, that was bad enough. My mum and I are now of the opinion that the 'owners' we're getting grants from government for convalescent city kids and a 'borstal' type set up. I'd like to get my hands on these owners, I would strangle them. Honestly I would.
