ABUSE

“When this abuse case first came to light the facts were so appalling as to virtually unbelievable.  It was only when different men came forward from different walks of life, who had not met one another since their time in this home, and independently told the same story that one realised that it must all be true”.
“We have been involved in around 15 group litigation cases concerning abuse in children’s homes. The experience of the children in Green Field  House stands out  as being one of the very worst”.
Lizanne Gumbel Q.C. & Henry Witcomb.

The abuse suffered by the boys at Green Field House was in my experience the most serious that I had come across. It is beyond all comprehension and understanding, and to my mind this makes it even more amazing that the victims have been so resilient and courageous in coming forward to tell the world their stories”.
Alan Collins solicitor acting for survivors of Green Field House &
Haut de la Garenne Jersey.
