Forced to sleep next to a dead nun: Public inquiry hears of horrific abuse suffered by children in Jersey care homes

A young girl being forced to sleep next to a dead nun is just one of the cruel punishments children were subjected to at care homes across Jersey, a public inquiry has heard.
At one home, Haut de la Garenne, staff have been accused of dragging boys from their beds late at night to abuse them among other crimes. Victims of the abuse told of other horrors they faced at the hands of care home workers in Jersey as part of an inquiry that is dealing with homes and foster care throughout the island, including Haut de la Garenne – dubbed the Jersery Horror Home.
