Hi Robert,
I understand your greivances with Barnardos. I myself was taken to Barkingside by my stepsister at the age of 4 years, as I entered the cottage she and the staff dissapeared. There was 5 or 6 boys standing in a line to greet the new boy! my greeting... was a good kicking. Then I was moved from here to there, until I ended up in a boys home in Essex, were the boss of the home was a Paedophile. He waited 3 years before he turned his attention to me, I was lucky as it only lasted about 45 sec.
Last Saturday I went back to that home for there reunion to see the boys.
As I said in an email to one old boy that wouldn't come, it's not about all that *@~#, its about the survivors of all that.
Last week on the 10 'o' clock news the head of Barnardos was speaking under the banner of protecting children from paedophile,s , I saw red and phoned them straight away and left a message, saying that I was furious hearing what I had just heard, but in the morning I know the man who abused me did not get the job because they knew he was a paedophile, he got the job because they didnt know ?
And the reason I got a kicking was the staff and my sister were probably doing paper work, and the boys were just saying to me that they were really happy about being orphans too just like me and you.
I am actually very fond of my childhood,
Its not the one I wanted but it's the only one you get and I would not trade it for anything

It appears Robert that you may not have been to Goldings.
While I appreciate that is your opinion, and I welcome your input, many but not all were very happy with there lot at Goldings hence the reason for our re-unions, and also to meet former Staff.
Whilst I will never condone the treatment it appears you suffered I would appreciate if you could direct it to the correct organisation Barnardo's, I think you may find the full address on our "past the sell by date" site somewhere or failing that forward it to Barnardo's Web-Site or if you like I can copy it for you and hand over to them as they also attend our re-union. I wish you health and happiness in your retirment and take on board your opinion as this site is not censored! Dave.

It is about time to forget everything about goldings, I see the Goldings web site is well past its sell by date, there is no doubt we were all subjected to tremendous hardship, abuse,bulling,deprived of normal? family upbring. When I first entered D,B AS AN INNOCENCT CHILD and beaten by my parents,incidently well respected war medals ect, and all that, en-trusted to Dr Barnado,s for protection, within two days of being in care five years old I was beaten with a cane,this I considered nornmal in those days,... it was normal

As you walked through the rear entrance door the boards you mentioned were on the wall opposite you at the bottom of the main straircase, when I did my "time" 46/49, they were very impressive and it was very nice to see ones name up there. Looking forward to seeing you and everybody on the day
