I was a child in care. We needed love, not chemicals [TheGuardiant.com]

 

Hearing the news that children in care and “special schools” were subjected to drug trials in the 1960swithout their parents being consulted sent shivers down my spine. As a 10-year-old I was shipped off from my children’s home to a school for maladjusted children – a boarding school I knew had a lot of the bad boys from my area. I now know, 40 years later, that my problems were emotional and could have been solved with love and care. Instead, I was exposed to violence, bullying and abuse. My school was a very scary place where you had to be on guard all the time.
