A pensioner has told an inquiry
examining child abuse that he was physically and sexually abused as a
young boy while in the care of the Presbyterian Church in Australia.
His migration was part of a scheme between the Presbyterian Church in the UK and Australia. Speaking to the Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) Inquiry via video link, he outlined his childhood. He is one of about 50 witnesses giving evidence from Australia.http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-29048447
