New South Wales government apologises for abuse victims at boys home...

The NSW government has privately apologised to the victims of child sexual and physical abuse carried out by multiple offenders “in brutal and terrifying circumstances” at a state-run boys’ home northwest of Sydney.

The state’s police force is also investigating the alleged violent abuse of several children at the Daruk Boys Home in Windsor between the 1960s and 1980s, with additional cases being referred to it by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse as recently as last week.

One of these alleged victims told The Australian he was raped inside an isolation cell by two men working at the home, then forced to listen while another child was sexually abused. The man, who asked to be identified only as William, spent years unsuccessfully pursuing the state government through the courts, seeking compensation for what took place.

The government has now written to apologise to four former residents of the home, including William, who were aged between 10 and 16 at the time of their abuse. Full story...
