NUNS who abused children at homes run by the Sisters of Nazareth were
unsuited to work with young people, while staff took on too many
children to care for them all properly, the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry
heard yesterday.
The inquiry was told 257 former residents of the Catholic order’s four Scottish homes have started civil actions over alleged abuse, while an additional 147 have complained they suffered while in the sisters’ care. Sister Anna Maria Doolan, the UK regional superior in charge of the Sisters of Nazareth, told the inquiry there had been complaints against all four Nazareth houses, in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Kilmarnock.
