Being betrayed as a child leaves a lifelong feeling of disgust

I empathise with your columnist Victoria White, (Opinion, Sept 13,) especially on the matter of keeping silent on the subject of child abuse.

This is especially true In my case looking back to the 1950s when nobody would listen to you, not to mind believe such a thing could happen.

It took years for me to speak out on the fabric of abuse in one of the most elite secondary boarding schools in Munster.
