TIME-OUT OR TORTURE? Sex offender put kids 'through hell' in time-out room The conviction of a sex offender who preyed on troubled children at an Auckland residential school has prompted the government to create a special helpline amid fears more students may have been abused. Last week, former child social worker Graeme McCardle, 58, was found guilty on 15 out of 24 sexual and physical abuse charges he faced at a re-trial at the High Court at Auckland. Two of his alleged victims told the Sunday Star-Times they have no doubt there are other former students from Waimokoia Residential School who have never come forward about the sexual and physical abuse they suffered. The school in Bucklands Beach, Auckland, opened in 1980 and was deemed a "last resort" for children with severe behavioural and emotional problems. Education Minister Anne Tolley closed it last year. Two women and a man had alleged in court that McCardle subjected them to gross abuse when they were children. The charges related to 20 complainants covering a time span from the 1980s to 2007.

Cross Creek and other facilities like it are where grotesque parents send their kids to have the gay bullied out of them and the Jesus bullied into them. This is the story of one girl who was sent there, what she endured while she was there, and the hell that continued after she returned. Here story is extremely sad, and if you are anything like me, enraging. Hold that thought. The most important thing to focus on in this story is the following: It then occurred to me that this was what my mother had arranged for my brother several years ago when she had him shipped away to Cross Creek.” It’s a cliche in psychology that all our problems go back to our mothers.
