Woman beaten by nuns attacks probe into abuse

The embattled Laffoy Commission into child abuse sent a victim subjected to 15 years of beatings and humiliations by nuns for counselling to a nun.
May Henderson, who was sent to the notorious Goldenbridge orphanage at the age of two, described the commission's decision as 'the final insult after a childhood of abuse'. Speaking publicly for the first time about her time at Goldenbridge, the London-based pensioner accused the government-backed commission of being 'totally insensitive' towards victims like her.
