BOYS as young as nine were shipped out from a former Catholic boys home to a life of abuse and 
torture in Australia. Bedfordshire Police are currently investigating claims of physical and sexual abuse at St Francis Boys Home in Shefford. The home was closed in 1973, in part due to concerns of abuse allegations. During the investigation police heard that some boys were sent to Bindoon, a notorious town in Western Australia.
