A FORMER orphanage resident has told an inquiry she was sent to a shrine in France to cure her of a “mental illness” by a nun who called her evil.
Paula Chambers was giving evidence at the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry when she said her “life had been stolen” during her time at Nazareth House in Cardonald, Glasgow, in the 1980s.
The 45-year-old told how a nun sent her to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in France, to get rid of a “mental illness”.
Ms Chambers, who has waived her right to anonymity, said: “She said it’s a holy shrine where people go. I asked ‘what’s wrong with me?’
