Nuns at a Belfast care home beat children
for slow learning in the classroom, the High Court has heard. One former resident at Nazareth Lodge is also entitled to damages for
punishments meted out after boys wet their beds, it was claimed.
Michael McKee (65) is suing The Sisters of Nazareth over the
physical abuse he allegedly suffered during his stay as an
eight-year-old boy in 1958. Lawyers for the congregation are
defending the case by challenging the reliability of his account and
questioning why he waited 50 years to take action.http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/nuns-beat-children-who-wet-beds-or-learned-too-slowly-abuse-hearing-told-31526955.html
