Appenzell compensates victims of children’s home abuse

The government of Appenzell Inner Rhodes has formally apologised to and compensated former residents of the Steig children’s home, who were reportedly mistreated and abused between 1945 and 1984.
On Monday, the cantonal government released a report detailing the history of the institution, which was run by nuns at the time, and providing first-hand testimonies of abuses perpetrated there.
