Blogging my experiences of 1970's CSA at St. Joseph's, Birkfield, #Ipswich by a lay teacher (in pic) & working too hard for closure.

Just in case there are former pupils, or indeed staff, of St Joseph's College,Birkfield, #Ipswich on here, do read the excellent Pat Mills blog patmills.wordpress.com which clearly points to many cases of abuse there under #delasalle. I hope to God it's not still happening. #mystjos #oldbirkfeldians

I'd like to help survivors of #childsexualabuse any way I can. I don't know how, though; I'm just one myself.

In my early 40's , I decided to put an education where one should have been. Children who are abused spend the rest of their lives trying to catch up. Employers, please bear that in mind.

How about St Joseph's , #Ipswich follow the example of #EdinburghAcademy and issue a statement of support for survivors of #delasalle #childabuse there. Otherwise they just continue to look complicit in #pedophile crimes. news.google.com/read/CBMiXEF... #fettes #nickycampbell

A short blog about Old Birkfeldians. How #StJosephsIpswich seem to want to airbrush CSA survivors out of their #delasalle school history.

If you know any of these people who were at St Joseph's #Ipswich in the 1970's, I would be very interested in having a conversation.

Lunch with an old classmate yesterday. He just found his diary from 1974 and shows me entries confirming I was avoiding my physics teacher.

#Internationaljokeday What does the Vatican burn to indicate a new pope?
Noncense.

I've named my abuser online.

Sod him.

What kind of #RomanCatholic #CSA #Safeguarding takes your details, pretends to care by arranging a few sessions of counselling, then completely ghosts you, thinking it's ticked the boxes for duty of care? They don't even ask whether it's been value for money from their perspective.

Avoid.

I just picture Jesus saying, "What do you think you're doing? This is NONCEnse!"

( and no, he didn't shake up the #catholic church, otherwise survivors wouldn't have to be making posts like this)

Personally, I'd prefer the Catholic Church disintegrated and people got back to pre Romanisation of faith, but come on then #PopeLeo , about time YOU did something for survivors of #csa www.snapnetwork.org/survivors_re...
Survivors respond to Pope Leo XIV’s election with grave concern about his record managing abuse cases
Protect the vulnerable. Heal the wounded. Prevent the abuse.

I have much to add regarding the so-called #Catholic "safeguarding" of #RLSS. When I get enough energy to give it, I will blog my experiences patmills.wordpress.com/2025/04/26/t...

Why did I renounce #Catholicism?
Because, apart from being abused by a lay teacher, when I was in it, I made a promise to
"renounce satan and all his works". ⬅️That. Is. Why.

Queuing up to see a dead body. Kinda sums up why I got out.

The faux people are in overdrive today, mourning the head of the Catholic Church.
An apology was never enough, no priests/nuns held to account, no closure for the victims as the church closed rank & denied them #Justice.
To empathise with victims while blubbering about a cult is hypocritical 🙄
A priest who helped organise Pope Francis's visit to Ireland in 2018 has recalled watching the pontiff compose his personal apology to victims of abuse in the Catholic Church

I try not to wish on anyone the hell #csa survivors have been through, thanks, in no small part to the (in)actions of popes. I just hope the next one uncovers all the cover ups in the weird institution I grew up in. #romancatholicism

St Joseph's Ipswich added Fides (fidelity) to the school motto after I left, almost as though they knew their legacy is one of child sexual abuse. So I've fixed it for them. #delasalle

russia is a child murderer.

This is a prefix that should go with every sentence considering the terrorist state.

This should affect every decision made about the terrorist state.

Very tempting to wring a Google review of my abuser's business.
