Never Goes Away
A Memory of Fornethy Residential School.
i am 62 years old and the memories of this place never goes away every single day i have thought about this horrible place for 55 years it still haunts me , i was in primary school when the nurse asked me if i would like to go a lovely little holiday i lived in Bridgeton at the time i was so excited about i couldn't wait to go , i was meant to go for 2 weeks but because i did not put on any weight they kept me there another 4 weeks, beat up, force fed, made to sit in corridors if you wet the bed or cried for your mummy, it was cold and dark to add to that they would make sure you had no clothes on. Thats just a small account of what they done , the list goes on and not one happy memory of this place its remained with me me all my life and because of it i do not trust people the worst thing was when i got home no one would believe me , seeing pictures of this place makes me feel sick and very sad it was allowed to happen .
