i lived there nothing ever happened to me but thats not to say i was just lucky to have avoided the misfortune of others. I had good memmories of this place and its sad to think of what might have gone on there.
I was at st gabriels with my 2 brothers nothing happened to them I was really looked after its a crying shame that it closed due to sexual abuse scandles and deliberately set on fire and is now in ruins breaks my heart
I was one of Andy Christians “victims” from 1964 to 1967 I am now 63 years old but am still haunted by memories during my time at st gabriels. I haven’t forgotten the failed threats.
I had no idea there where other boys like me with no place to turn or who to trust
