My mother grew up in st johns thugoona and suffered a horrific childhood, she was locked in cupboards for being "naughty" and still suffers from the way she was treated while she was there how these people who worship god can treat these poor children the way they did and still claim to be religious is beyond me not a day goes bye that the evil my mother endured doesn't effect her everyday life fancy having to stand in cow manure to warm ur feet from the freezing cold being locked away for wetting ur bed having gifts u were given by strangers taken away from u and given back only when people visited and then taken away again,terry Cooper was my mothers name and her tormented childhood was spent their at st johns.
