At just six years I started at the De la Salle brothers. Here the vile Brother Ferdinand sexually and physically abused me. A whole class of innocent children cowered under his brutality. No one would listen to us.
So I went on the mitch. I never really learned to read and write, and took to petty crime. Crime led to punishment, and that sent me straight back to Hell: this time in the form of the notorious Daingean “Reform” School.
