A girl was sexually attacked by a man she was told was her father after being taken away for the day from a children’s home, an inquiry has heard.

A witness told the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry (SCAI) she was around nine years old when she was assaulted by the man who was a “stranger” to her during her time as a resident at Nazareth House in Cardonald, Glasgow.

“I’d like to know why he was allowed to come and take us,” she told the hearing.
