At times when I remember my past at Golding's with no family to share a lifetime experience or childhood memories I can search the net, and on occasions when Golding's appears via of the annual reunion I scour the site looking for any meaningful answer with a chance to believe the time spent at Golding,s was the happy experience your guests seem to enjoy,not for me, at the time a child thought it normal to be beaten or made to stand near naked on the parade ground, shouted and sworn at, humiliated, punished regardless of weather, dragged from the bed,beaten and made to stand in the cold draftiest areas of the main building whatever the excuse.child abuse was there.The one person I remembered with gratitude was Mr Sheppard, he died long before my search to put things right was achieved,as for the rest, Head office claims as a charitable organisation benefiting from fundraisers considered it normal to appropriate disciplined to worthless children ,J S may agree, like many solders returning from the war a belt to the backside of a child was normal and an excuse.I have appeared in the Guest book previously this is why all messages have since been approved, not being a barnado boy as you claim there is no need to publish my message in the guest book I only wish you to remember not every child in care was happy far from it,I was in care for 14 years and proberly spent some time in a workhouse be it updated to care home but still operating on the same principles.
Like the F.O.I ACT which allowed access to information whilst in care minus disiplinary proccedues and certain infomation I can put a closure in part, but not Goldings you approve the guest book it was not the greatest and it is obviouse to me the period (I can not be pricise feb 1959 -nov 1961) was not the most glourious years at Goldings, on average at the time 230-250 boys turnover 40 not many possibly 15 comment,sorry the Goldings family is just your website.

As a temporary measure I have had to limit messages to one message each person each day this is because I have just sat for 1hour 45mins deleting the same spam messsage from the guestbook (The guestbook will appear to take your second message but it will not appear) hopefully this will correct the problem. Sorry for the incovenience but it is TEMPORARY and I will put it all back to normal in a couple of days
