Had they not had to have so many children - and I speak as one of eleven - they could have had such an easier life. A big car pulls up outside they're house and off they go, watching with excitement as they pass into the countryside, they pull onto a large gravel drive not knowing that it is a convent and beyond those doors are depravity, cruelty assault and abuse not only by the other children but also the nuns as well. Apart from being abused , the children were made to work like slaves and also were sexually molested. The true strength of Hargreaves as well as many other children like her shines through the words of this book.
I can actually see this and totally understand what hat she is talking about nuns were the most evil creatures and we just couldn’t understand why and they were meant to look out for us . She was one of 10 children (I think 7 at the time she was sent away) of extremely poor parents who could only afford a single bed for them all to sleep in, yet rhey had a baby every year. Marie has proven the nun wrong and found happiness, but most importantly she always had a family and was never an orphan! The Convent is the shocking true story of Marie Hargreaves, the girl who survived an evil nun’s care home from hell. I had never been on holiday in my life and I was actually excited to go – not realising I was going into care and I would not see my home again for years.
Children could have been saved from abuse if the Catholic church had focused less on its reputation, the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse said in a report published in 2019 about the Archdiocese of Birmingham. In relation to this particular case, the Archdiocese safeguarding team were informed of the allegation made by the individual. This book had me in tears and even though I knew from the description of the book what to expect, the story was still very emotional and hard hitting. These children are either orphaned or from very poor homes, that I thought it might be interesting after reading Stolen: A Memoir of a girl from a very wealthy family in the US placed in a therapeutic school that she, and many others, accuse of very similar sorts of abuse. It’s just a shame that justice ultimately wasn’t served and that Sister Isobel died before she could face her comeuppance for her many evils and crimes.
A woman who was abused in a convent as a little girl has written a book revealing the true horrors of her childhood. Although there was no physical abuse in the Grammar School, the emotional abuse was dreadful and constant. Marie is part of the Kibblewhite family her parents Fred and Kathleen and her siblings, in a small house and extremely poor. Although it gave Marie great comfort, Sister Isobel grabbed her and marched her out of the room – panic rose in her chest as she realised she was in for the worst beating yet. It was just one of those things kids say, but it made me cry, because it was the only show of affection I'd had for years.Es ist nicht zu fassen was den Kindern angetan wurde, wohl nicht das einzige Heim der Welt aber trotzdem.
