An abuse survivor said the Royal Commission into child abuse had given him the chance to pour his heart out for the first time.
Richard ‘Tommy’ Campion said he was sexually and physically abused during the 14 years that he lived at the Church of England North Coast Children’s Home in Lismore.
He spoke with members of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse for two hours yesterday at a Brisbane hotel.
Mr Campion has been battling for recognition from the Anglican Church for 8 years and said this was the first time his pain has had a hearing.
