Laura Smith reports on electroconvulsive therapy

my feeling about Child abuse compo

Lets imagine i crashed into your car had no insurance nor did you so i gave you a letter of apology and $10 towards your repair would you be happy well thats how i feel about being offered a tiny payout for 40 years of abuse it would have been acceptable at the time but as the govt have dragged it out for years and cost us as unable to work because refused rehab so have suffered more because of it its also affected our relationships and our children so yes to be honest it is about the money as how dose less then 1,000 a year compensate for the abuse not just by our abusers but by the govt drawing it out for year after year fighting us at every turn and unjust amounts some got 100,000 and where well enough to work all their life and coped mentally others like me had to pay lawyers 36,000 to get 35,000 how is that right and i have not coped mentally been in and out of work because of it so the system is broken unjust and unfair i know others who paid 10,000 to a lawyer to get 10,000 for terrible abuses so it has to be about the money so we have enough to rebuild our life and pay for the rehab we need to be able to finally have a almost normal life or whats left of it as many many studies have proven people abused and made mentally ill have a 10 to 15 year shortened life span also adds to the abuse

a state apology  is grate but it dose not fix the damage they did just like the $10 towards fixing your car did little for you and if i was not mentally damaged by the trauma of the brain damage done by the ECT who knows i might have been the PM earning a nice living instead of living most of life hand to mouth on a benefit. now if all this was felt with very early on things would be much different its hard when we have been told what happened to us was wrong but the people who abused us where never told what they did was wrong nor did they get punished for their crime even when you swear an affidavit with 30 others all saying the same thing and police don't even have the decency to interview you abused again so no its not about millions but its about whats right and fair and just for not just the short time we where kids and abused but for the many years since we have had to suffer and fight to be heard and be ridiculed and called liars   

so do you understand if so good if no go to your kitchen take your best plate out of the cupboard throw it on the ground now say sorry to it, was it fixed? did it get back together somehow no you need to buy some glue and rehab it but it will never ever be the same plate
