This was so sad Comment from : cee new design

Having seen another decumentary about canadian juvenile detention center seems that very little has changed Comment from : Anna & Grisù

"One of the really awful things about it is they put them all in the same melting pot" Yes, and that is what they do in low income housing, and why it doesn't work, and why it then sits half empty You can NOT lump everyone together like this Comment from : funwithFred

Wow the dark is all coming into the light I pray they find more survivors and im so so sorry for all you had to go through No child No human being period but especially not children It hurts me and makes me angry God says to forgive but thats not always easy They will have to answer to God You all are very strong and your here because Jesus loves you!! God bless you all Comment from : Sheila& All 4 HIM Mackey/Briggs

It is so wonderfull that the victims are being heard finally ! All it takes is Love , compassion , respect , hearing and objective facts! God Bless you brave survivors !

You are not forgotten ! I keep all children in my prayers daily !your story is yours to tell ! Say it Loud , clear and never be held in the captivity of fear ! Comment from : Dawn M

I was in one in Ontariothe clearinghouse then was Galt & I will never forget the sound of those HUGE, thick metal doors clanging shut on me I was contacted a few years back about a class-action lawsuit through Koskie Minskie LLP but haven't heard anything since Comment from : Jean

It's so tiring hearing " SORRY THIS HAPPEND TO YOU" after the atrocities have come and gone, about failures of church and state and what they did to Everyone These are very sick people who harm others, and nobody did anything then or now to prevent it Maybe these naysayers of yesteryear are frightened it maybe their turn ? All I can say is it's the society you allowed and created for the future Comment from : Lesley Johnsonn

Heartbreaking I had a girlfriend who suffered similar conditions in Shawbridge in the 90's, so such practices went on for a long time Comment from : Legal Tender

The higher up in the government should je locked up for what they did to those kids Sometimes the parents are your worst enemy Comment from : Marthe Morais

Children acting out and running away are signs of an abusive homelife A toxic enviroment has consequence Its time we address the cause of juvenile delinquency , though the term is antiquated , by removing the child from the enviroment but placing them into the proper enviroments Comment from : Sgt Dum Dum Dugan

Here I was , thinking Marian Hall was a woman Comment from : Sgt Dum Dum Dugan

How is this possible in Canada? Comment from : Brent Mosey

I’m never allowed to talk about it because no one can talk about anything depressing It is hard when something hurts, you are not allowed to talk about it; it is so heavy on the heart Comment from : Heather Clappis

Her daughter was always mean Digging her nails in us;never being nice Comment from : Heather Clappis

My foster family was not nice My best friend brought me to church weekly I was a good, quiet child, but I was always being punished My mom learned very quickly I was not the same brchild Crying if I thought I did something wrong, always saying sorry or asking to eat What upsets me is going to church and some lady saying we should all be taken away I stopped going to church after that Comment from : Heather Clappis

Investigate the money trails Comment from : Louiseskybunker

Wowthose barsIt was like they were trying to make them look decorative And the prison mirrors I hated them so much I remember being on lock down when there was a strike I think I was about 14 then Unit 8, the English unit We were locked in our rooms for a week I am not sure it is true but we were told that the French staff who were working didn't want to deal with us It was terrifying Comment from : candyernie

I saw the same in early 2000s US Comment from : Sara Mae

I went to this space actually looking up a place I spent time atat 5 years old The setup was the same! Really a wretched place here in America & nobody cares I was molested , beaten, drugged, put in a place like the whole called the quiet room For hours on end with nothing but a pee stained mattress I was 5 years old! Comment from : Skillt Reed

If not for a free press, no one would have known about this Comment from : old fan

I cant believe this happened here in Canada, I’ve explored this building when it was abandoned (very creepy) but back then didn't even know about its dark history Comment from : David Perron

This is so heartbreaking, I cry for everyone that has suffered, I hope that each and everyone of you find peace and happiness my heart goes out to all ❤️ Comment from : Ell p

Don't you see? The biggest threat to humans are fellow humans, be kind to each other- get out of your head and selfishness-BE KIND TO EACH OTHER Comment from : Claudia Argueta

I am a retired front line child protection worker of 27yrs with the CAS of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry In the first 18yrs I was lecturing at St Lawrence College students on forensic interviewing, medical indicators of child abuse and shaken baby syndrome I also received the Community Service Award, and an award for the management of a highly dangerous case, that brought the five children to safetyIt was the Cornwall Police who named me Digger, they said that I was instrumental in helping them solve major crimesHowever my life changed when I did an interview with an adult survivor of childhood institutional abuse (a group home-closed- that had been run by CAS staff) In her disclosure she implicated staff and some of my superiors, as such I went to seek counsel with a relative RCMP with ties to CSISHe in turn worked with the Ottawa Police with Project Truth, which later morphed into the 50 Million Dollar Probe (Inquiry)I was a key witness in the Inquiry, I testified on behalf of the Adult survivors of childhood institutional abuse, as well I pointed out some of the systemic problems that set workers up for failure and left children at riskThe fall out for me being one of the whistler blowers,,,,,I was blacklisted and I was told that then could not protect me from being bullied (by my peers!) The bullying was devastating for me,,,,but I stood my ground and sought strength via a counsellor,,,,this are his comments”Mrs Fitzpatrick has had a complicatied evolution She was a child protection worker and was involved in many complex and difficult cases She was able to work effectively, Her work involved child apprehension, appearances in court, working closely with the Police Services and the Crown Attorneys, She was also involved in several violent and high profile cases, She received death threats She was successful in being a significant investigator helping to convict several paedophiles However, the Cornwall Public Inquiry (starting February 2006) in which she was a key witness, changed her life completely She testified about the systemic failures that did not protect vulnerable children According to her testimony, members of the Children’s Aid Society were less than truthful Ms Fitzpatrick was shunned by the workplace and colleagues for telling the truth and facts of her experience Her trust in people and institutions has been shattered Comment from : Gerri F

A great way to express the horrors kids went threw, Comment from : J E

I think this was happening all over the world at that time, I remember parents including mine threatening their children with borstal if they misbehaved, nobody wanted to go to borstal, good children where terrified by the thought So obviously there were some dark stories associated with those places Comment from : Tania Pitama

Arrel Observation Home was a children's jail in Hamilton, Ont , I know it was in the 1970's Comment from : Susanna Dietrich

May all those who put you there, did those things, didn't believe you have one miserable life till they die and then burn in hel or on earth i don't care they need to pay for doing this to humans especially children Comment from : Sanelle le Grange

My heart just breaks for these woman They've become loving, beautiful women Comment from : lubabe 99

Watching this Video, I'm reminded of what I through in Montrose in Baltimore Maryland in the USA Comment from : ann c

My heart bled as I watched and heard the survivors share their stories Words cannot convey the cruelty and evil that was inflicted on these children without a shred of mercy brInstitutions and persons responsible for these crimes need to be brought to justicebrAfter many years and support from some amazing human beings, the women who were “sentenced” to the Magdalena laundries in Ireland up until the 1960’s and endured unspeakable cruelties were heard by church and the statebrbrSupport each other and know there are people who care Comment from : Helen Ferullo

During the time of Pierre Trudeau I presume say no morebrToo incredibly sad Comment from : Heather

I am forever saddened by all the ways we humans have found to damage the human soul Comment from : Chickmamapalletfarm

Institutions still exist today do you really know what goes on inside them it should be everybody’s business but does anybody really care that much as long as it’s not happening to youWhy care Comment from : Rebecca Wilchynski

Thank you all for speaking out Everyone spoke so honestly and graciously I live with the same war scars and its validating to hear so many other voices speaking the truth Its hard to hear the stories and feel pain but the validation is worth it Thank you all for sharing your strength Comment from : jennifer greco

This is just the top of a very large iceberg, unfortunately it still goes on, they have just gotten more savvy Comment from : PPpp MMmm

Where were the parents of these young girls? Comment from : To Whom this May Concern

As always, a great episode Mind opening I had no idea this kind of thing was happening WHEN it was happening It wasn't the Dark Ages or during a WW It was the '70s when I was growing up having been born in '66 Unfathomable My heart breaks for these women Those who have chosen to speak out and those who have not It's true what I believe the journalist said, how can you do these things to these girls, treat them this way, and expect them to grow up and be fine? And right as rain? It's impossible Sending love and hugs to these brave women ❣️ Comment from : Ms Havisham

Children in this world have always been mistreated by adults and society ITS a disgusting shame on all of usSadly it continues to this day Comment from : LilyRose

I can't begin to bring myself to btry/b to imagine their solitary confinement on bconcrete slabs,/b because I personally, am very claustrophobic, and would probably go into cardiac arrest, just from the confinement Not to mention the spasms that my muscles endured, recently, on a hard MRI machine, which balso triggered my claustrophobia/b Such a hellish experience for those poor kids, 😢 Comment from : HiYa Pal

My six siblings and I grew up in Montreal, and simply because they could not find foster homes for all of us, some were sent to these detention centres including Maria Hall, Weredale Park etc moreover, someone should do a story about the group homes of that time, where ville Marie social services sent children, and the pedophiles and abusive people who ran them Comment from : teepeewabbit

Satanic abuse of children Comment from : halima k

I went to prison as an adult (for my husband's crimes) and it traumatizes you but I cannot imagine those traumas as a child 💔 Comment from : Danielle Nichols

IMHO this still goes on, all across the worldall a part of the plan to undermine the social fabric, derail youth thus destroying the family unit, depopulation and the beating down of women, in their most PRODUCTIVE years All in readiness for the 'NWO'I refer to it as 'Nasty Weird Odour' 'It's' all around us, with more and more being revealed, daily My heart goes to them allI too have my stories of cruelly conceived plans to destroy mebut I'm a little 'bugger' for NOT GOING ALONG! Be strong ladiesyou've come a long way, already Comment from : GinjaNinja

Oh my gosh, How horrific for you poor sweet young girls I can’t believe something like this could go on in Canada, your country acts like they are so much better than every other country! God Bless You All! I hope you find your inner peace! How do they find people to work in those institutions that are so cruel? Comment from : Lauren Andreas

Wow! I had no idea Comment from : Ms Sassy Pants

A true saying to take every bad person out of this world you'd have to take every single person out Comment from : Aidan Devlin

I was in one of them places in Alberta Canada yes its all true my life was changed by the Roman Catholic church by nuns they beat us and other forms of abuse :-) :-) :-) :-) they did things I will never forget and no amount of money can replace the time you stole from me and my future my bodies is paying for it as I Age so said Comment from : Deanna Rasmussen

I just want to reach out to these ladies with a hug Comment from : Marie Harrison

I'm proud of the journalist going after the practice of institutionalizing young people; the policeman intervening with the judge And proud of these women supporting each other & continuing to get the story out so it won't happen again God bless them all Comment from : glmn77

Nothing has changed Comment from : Catherine OConnell

They all need to be financially compensated Comment from : The Stream of Life

It's about time this horror 😱 story is being told But the scars of these girls will never leave them Comment from : The Stream of Life

This shows government cannot replace families Even if some parent is a criminal like that rapist father, government should definitely rescue the child and prosecute and jail the father yes, but it must not try to raise children itself No These children should have been put up for adoption by families by government agencies and the process duly monitored That’s all Governments are not good for anything more than that Comment from : Romi Dogra

These places still exist, at least they did through the 90's and 2000's in America Lots of girls around the nation have gone through this There's no manual on how to cope with society Some of those children's parents are still out there following their adult children around and there is no safety when only freedom and a new life is sought Comment from : Marissa Lopez

These poor women are lucky they are a live Even with all the demons I pray they can heel from such atrocities they’ve live through Comment from : sarita dugat

I can’t believe these women made it out and are living their life’s with all the horrific memories of that place, the government didn’t take care of this and it was in the 70’ So glad the police officer listened to her Theses girls didn’t have a chance and iam sure lots ended their lifes Comment from : Sunshine M

Canada is as bad as America Comment from : No one really matters, but cats 😸

If they can do this to white women just imagine what they can do to the rest of us Comment from : Ramses

This was all happening more than a decade later and still to this day it just 'looks' different and goes by different names Isolation rooms, tranquilizers, restraint and institutions are still used as behaviour management technics Sometimes because of the lack of appropriate facilities, kids are being managed in adult facilities where staff have little to no training working with youth Isolation rooms and sedatives take care of what they haven't been trained to manage to the detriment of already injured kids Don't fool yourselves believing things have changed that much in this system There are lots of people who've been 'helped' into a lifetime of isolation by the adults and institutions meant to heal them Comment from : SMS

Sometimes the only way back is thru the muck Talking about it cleansing Not wallowing in self-pity, because self-pity is something no one can help you out of You are here you survived Parts may be worn thin but YOU are HERE You took something awful and turned it into LIFE You overcame them, beat that system Just by being alive Comment from : meghan rabren

God Bless ALL of you-Sisters- Stay strong ❤💗💖 Comment from : Lanna Ramirez

Silent no more Survivors need to speak out and expose these crimes Comment from : Wallace

The journalist sips wine and tears up while lurking on the chat brBig mood Comment from : Mika Lin

This a short period of my life I finally ran away when I was 14 and lived on the streets figuring out how to survive and hidding Comment from : just me
