I speak for those whose lives were taken from them

I am responding to Florence Horseman Hogan’s letter (‘Most abuse claims exaggerated,’ Irish Examiner, July 2).

I wish to add my voice as ‘PRO’ for the abandoned, forgotten, voiceless children who also took their own lives, for those whose lives were taken from them, for those buried in unmarked graves, and for those who died in servitude in the poisonous grip of the religious.

I wish to add my voice for the children who had no knowledge of their medical history because of medical neglect which unleashed fatal diseases like Huntington’s Disease into the population, with the death toll still mounting.
