describes abuse - 'Abuse was anything from rape to torture. It happened every night' Victims call for house to be demolished as they reveal full scale of horror at Haut de la Garenne - By Jonathan Brown and Jerome Taylor in Jersey 2/27/2008 Former residents at a Jersey care home where police are searching for the remains of up to six children described yesterday how they were repeatedly drugged, raped and abused while supposedly under the protection of the institution's staff. Testimonies, including one from a leading local trade unionist, painted a horrifying picture of life inside Haut de la Garenne, where more than 1,000 children were housed in the decades before it was closed down....Some 150 people have contacted police since the discovery of human bones at the care home on Saturday. It also emerged that the notorious paedophile Edward Paisnell, known as the Beast of Jersey, visited Haut de la Garenne during the 1960s. The political fallout on the island from the affair continued yesterday. The Chief Minister, Frank Walker, issued a statement conceding that "a cloud hangs over Jersey". However, he sought to calm fears of an island-wide cover up by insisting there was "no hiding place in Jersey for anyone who abused children or, who in any way may have colluded with that abuse and no stone will be left unturned to bring them to justice". But the former health minister who was sacked after blowing the whistle on the children's care home scandal claimed senior figures on the island had concealed evidence of an earlier sex abuse scandal at a school. Senator Stuart Syvret handed out copies of a confidential report from 2000 on the activities of Jervis Dykes, a teacher at the local Victoria College, who was jailed for abusing six pupils between 1979 and 1996. Mr Syvret also accused the island's newspaper, the Jersey Evening Post, of failing to publish the critical findings, which he had leaked to journalists. The newspaper said the document contained no new information and it had decided not to publish "in deference to the feelings of victims and their families". _http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/abuse-was-anything-from-rape-to-torture-it-happened-every-night-787918.html_ (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/abuse-was-anything-from-rape-to-torture-it-happ ened-every-night-787918.html) Jersey 'cover-up faces exposure' - An ex-minister on Jersey says he will expose a "cover-up culture" as searches continue at a former children's home on the island where remains were found. Police investigators at the Haut de la Garenne home in St Martin are focusing their attention on a bricked-up cellar. Former health minister Stuart Syvret told BBC News he will publish evidence to show the authorities failed to act on child abuse claims at another site. A statement from Jersey's chief minister is also expected. The BBC's Sanchia Berg said Mr Syvret's allegations will relate to a school and a secure unit on the island. It is understood the police inquiry into allegations of historic abuse in Jersey pre-date these claims. The senator's allegations that island authorities ignored evidence of abuse of children in its care have been vehemently denied by Jersey's Chief Minister, Senator Frank Walker, who is due to address the island's Assembly later. He has described Mr Syvet's allegations as "deplorable" and said the ex-minister, who was dismissed from his post last year over the way he is alleged to have treated staff and colleagues in his ministry, was seeking to "politicise" the situation. _http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/jersey/7264169.stm_ (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/jersey/7264169.stm) describes abuse Police excavate bricked-up 'Colditz' cellar at ex-children's home in Jersey amid fears it hides a mass grave 2/27/08 The bricked-up cellar of the Haut de la Garenne children's home was being excavated last night amid fears it could be a mass grave. The basement where youngsters were once held in solitary confinement as punishment may hold the bodies of six children, police believe. Specialist teams using sniffer dogs and ground radar equipment have identified a number of suspicious sites around the cellar. _http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23441090-details/Suspected%20body% 20count%20hits%20seven%20as%20police%20focus%20on%20bricked-up%20cellar/articl e.do?expand=true#StartComments_ (http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23441090-details/Suspected%20body%20count%20hits%20seven%20as%20police%20focus%2 0on%20bricked-up%20cellar/article.do?expand=true#StartComments) **************Ideas to please picky eaters.
