28 men allege abuse by monk 1965 TO 1975: Western Alaska men sue Fairbanks Catholic Diocese, Jesuits. By Richard Mauer - Anchorage Daily News 11/12/04 "Twenty-eight Alaska men say that when they were children, a religious brother who served several Western Alaska villages bought sexual favors from them with candy, better grades, sacramental wine and coins from collection plates. The men, now mostly in their 40s, say in a lawsuit filed in Bethel that the former Trappist monk, Joseph Lundowski, abused their trust as deacon and religious instructor and engaged them in sexual misconduct, including oral sex. One man said he was also raped." http://www.adn.com/front/story/5771234p-5705176c.html
fwd from L Moss Sharman - Return to horror hospital 11/13/04 By Martin Johnston "For Hake Halo, Lake Alice Hospital was a place of terror which overshadowed the rest of his life....in the 1970s it was the place where the then teenaged Hake says he was punished with electric shocks and painful injections by nurses and doctors trying to alter youngsters' behaviour. He blames the electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) for the return of his epilepsy and damaging his short-term memory. His long-term memories of the hospital remain sharp and painful. He vividly describes his body straining under ECT without anaesthetic or muscle relaxant. The pain after he fell back on the bed was "like a sledge-hammer banging against your head"....In 1975 he complained to his grandmother, cleverly deceiving hospital censors with a Niuean speech bubble beside a smiley face in an otherwise non-contentious English-language letter. The message said: "I have been given electric shock by the people, mum. The pain is very bad." This letter was the first link in a chain that led to the closure of the hospital's child and adolescent unit and the Government much later apologising and paying $10.7 million compensation to 183 former patients who were mistreated....But he said closure would be incomplete until psychiatrist Dr Selwyn Leeks, who until 1977 ran the unit, which operated from 1972 to 1978, was held to account. The police are investigating criminal complaints against Dr Leeks, who lives in Melbourne, but have yet to decide whether to lay charges and seek his extradition to New Zealand..... Former Lake Alice Hospital patients were given electric-shock therapy without anaesthetic as a punishment, youngsters were locked away with insane adults and the drug paraldehyde was injected as a punishment. The Government has paid $10.7 million to 183 former patients abused between 1972 and 1977. Patients are still waiting for police to decide whether to prosecute former staff." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=3609757&thesection=news&thesubsection=general www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
