Crest of the Congregation of Christian Brothers

Crest of the Congregation of Christian Brothers
Neither Christian nor brotherly is how their victims see them

Millstones

This site focuses on allegations of abuse, physical and sexual, by the Irish Christian Brothers at schools in the UK. The majority of the Brothers were no doubt good teachers and kindly men, but a number of them should not have been allowed to be near children. Generally it appears that there was a culture of violence ingrained in the Congregation of Christian Brothers; it is unfortunate that so many teachers stood by and did nothing. As an ex-pupil has commented: " They could hardly claim to not know what went on; the sound of whole classrooms of kids being strapped could be heard very clearly in corridors and adjacent classrooms."

Predators at large?

I rarely post on this blog nowadays, feeling that I've done all I can. In any case there are more enjoyable things to blog about. But I'm generally happy to help. I received the following messages from a TV producer recently. If anyone would like to provide information or be interviewed, let me know.  

I work as a producer for ITV News and I am looking to find locations of other priest/teachers who abused children who have not been convicted.

I was wondering if you could help me as I am finding it difficult to locate them as they have either moved on or very little about them

The names I am interested in:

Brother Manley
William Don
Timothy Foxall
Michael Murphy
Brother Ryan
Brother Eagen

A later message: 

I was wondering if you knew anyone who I can speak to in England who suffered abuse at any of the schools.
