Hornsey Convalesent

I was there for about a couple of months and it wasthe worse place i have ever been, i was sent from Driffield Hospital after i had been on the childrens ward for a long time it was supposed to ge me ready to go home but all it did was make me so scared by the way i was treated, i also saw so many orrible things happen to the othe children there. I was made to go and sit in the cloak room because i wouldnt stop crying and i had to clean the shoes, there was a girl who i knew also from Driffield hospital who had arrrived a week or so before me she was called Lynda and she was a little older than me. she waslovely and tried to look afterr me she kept me going as i was crying all the time andrefused to clean the shoes i just threw them about in the cloakroom, she picked them all up and her and a boy then cleaned them for me.
She left a week or so bfore me and shy gave me a dolll of hers to comfort me, i would reallly liketo find her and get in touch as i would like to thank her so much for looking our for me.
I do remember that the consultant who sent me there was a Dr Bogdon, i dont know if he realised what a hell hole he was sending us to. these are just a few of my memories lots of other things happend to me which have stayed with me all my life, i have never been able to this day and im now 63 to go to bed with out a light on or the tv i am still tooscared. I do wonder if anyone was reprted or charged with crimes against us because of the abuse by the staff? Has anyone tried to get all the children together t put in a complaint, or been to a solicitor to get advice i would be interested to know how this turned out. I do know that questions were asked in parliament by MPs about the way we were treated, but dont know if it was taken any further. i would be interested to find out
