Behind The Walls of St John's by Arlene Krieger

Behind The Walls of St John's  is a true story of sexual abuse not only by the priests but also by the nuns. The school catered to the deaf, children who had no public-school options. Yet, the school did not teach sign language. Abuses were daily happenings, but the worst came to those children who remained at the school over weekends. Many parents were poor or lived so far away they were unable to bring the children home. So young, the children were unable to properly communicate what the staff was doing. Caroline tried and tried but her parents were incapable of understanding or believing such things were occurring. The school was subject to a huge lawsuit which shuttered their doors and bankrupt the school. All hush hush, around three dozen children finally received a pittance from the settlement.
