Beating of children with cricket bats!

Posted by Jewlz on March 13, 2006 at 19:12:05

I have read much about the physical abuse that ran rife in TFI and of course have spoken to many individual SG's & have heard even more horrific stories. beatings & bashings were just 'normal' and commmonplace.

I have also just heard that my exhusband Barry (of Windy)aka, PeterGehr, Barry Williams, Peter Riddell, was also a child abuser and his choice of weapon was a bloody CRICKET BAT! I also heard some other dreadful stories of abuse regarding barry or peter gehr (whatever name he has this week) - and i was devastated. (i was told to ask the male sg's about their beatings with the cricket bat). I see the word 'paddle' in every single horror story that the sg's tell and that alone crushes me.
this cricket bat story has disturbed me ever since I was told.
