We have been contacted by a victim who has given evidence of abuse taking place at Kerelaw. The victim, who cannot be named, has complained about the news item posted on the F.A.C.T. website on the 23rd April. He is particularly concerned by the description that the Kerealw investigation has all the hallmarks of a modern witch hunt.

F.A.C.T. is sorry if the item has caused any offence. F.A.C.T. accepts that children are sometimes abused by their carers and teachers but believes that the extent to which this happens is exaggerated  - as many of the not guilty verdicts in this case demonstrate.

F.A.C.T. also believes that this investigation has many of the hallmarks of the investigation carried out in North Wales in the 1990's which one cultural historian has described as a witch hunt  - see The Secret of Bryn Estyn - the making of modern witch hunt
