Gill Memorial Home for Boys in Goulburn is considered one of the worst offending children\u2019s homes<\/a> in New South Wales<\/a>. The boys were brutally beaten, flogged, intimidated and sexually abused regularly. The living conditions were horrific \u2014 Gill was known to be freezing in winter, and the Salvation Army officers would <\/span>turn off the heaters to ensure the boys suffered<\/span><\/a> and the Home saved money.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the boys wet the bed, their faces would be rubbed into their wet bed sheets, and they would be forced to take cold showers in the dead of a cold winter\u2019s night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we expose the cruel, horrific treatment the boys were put through by the officers at Gill and how the Salvation Army has responded to the allegations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

History of the Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Gill Memorial Home for Boys was a <\/span>Salvation Army Boys\u2019 Home<\/span><\/a> located at Auburn Street in Goulburn, NSW, from September 1936. It housed 90 boys aged three to 18\u2014some were sent to Gill under court orders, others were child migrants, and some were placed there \u201cinformally\u201d by a parent or guardian.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2004, Gill was referred to the Senate Community Affairs Reference Committee Inquiry into Forgotten Australians and Child Migrants. Former residents described <\/span>harsh routines<\/span><\/a>, regular bashings, and being referred to as numbers rather than their names.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the residents recounted a <\/span>song the boys used to sing on the way to and from school<\/span><\/a>. It was the boys\u2019 version of <\/span>The Road to Gundagai.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s a gaol on the hill<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

and they call it the Gill<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

along the road to Goulburn High.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You can hear the Sallies singing<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

and hear the stockwhip ringing<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

beneath the Goulburn sky.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

When my mummy and daddy are thinking of me<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I’m in the Sallies office copping six, four or three.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

There’s a gaol on the hill<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

and they call it the Gill<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

along the road to Goulburn High.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In 1980, the Home was restructured and renamed the Gill Memorial Family Group Home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Resident was sexually abused \u201cat least four out of every seven days\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 2014, a former resident described his experience at Gill to the <\/span>Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse<\/span>. He arrived at Gill in 1971 at the age of 12 and left in December the following year. During that time, an unnamed Salvation Army officer sexually abused him \u201c<\/span>at least four out of every seven days<\/span><\/a>\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The survivor described the officer as a \u201c<\/span>physically powerful man<\/span><\/a>\u201d who abused him in the watchtower, kept him back after school and took advantage of other boys\u2019 absences on the weekends to assault him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMany times he would drag me out of bed at 3am for allegedly making a noise,\u201d he told the Commissioners.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cHe would punish me by taking me down to the bathrooms and making me scrub the toilets with a toothbrush. I was always there on my own. He would then sexually abuse me and send me back to bed at 5am. I would then have to get up at 6am to start my chores.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The survivor suspected that <\/span>other boys were also being sexually abused<\/span><\/a> because they were \u201cspirited away in the night\u201d and when they returned, he could hear them crying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He told the Commission that he escaped twice from Gill. On the first occasion, he was caught two streets away by the police and returned to the Home. He told the police that Salvation Army officers were physically and sexually abusing the boys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026But the police just gave us a flogging by belting me across the neck and side of the head and took us back to the Home\u2026 Then he flogged me when we got back for telling lies. He hit me with his open palm on my head, chest, arms and upper body.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After the survivor\u2019s second escape attempt, the <\/span>punishment was so severe that he never tried again<\/span><\/a>. In 1972, his father discovered he was being held at Gill Memorial Home and rescued him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking to the Royal Commission, the survivor seemed lost for words when he was asked about the effects the abuse had had on his life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhere do I begin? Mistrust… Every day not knowing whether I said or did the right things. Fear, anger\u2026 I suffer from severe hypertension and I\u2019m on drugs to control that. I have been \u2018second guessing\u2019 myself my whole life, almost every day. I feel I have gone through life afraid and my self-esteem has been shot to pieces.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He also said that the Salvation Army had taken away his ability to interact with the community and had <\/span>\u201cstolen my foundational life skills and caused me to panic almost every day for over 40 years\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cI was hit across the mouth for standing up to him\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A former resident of Gill Memorial Home for Boys was instrumental in securing a worldwide apology from the Salvation Army in 2010 for the abuse that occurred at their Boys\u2019 Homes. When he arrived at Gill in 1965,<\/span> he was given the number 23<\/span><\/a> \u2014 his mother had died and his father, who he never knew, had abandoned him and his siblings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2014, he told the Royal Commission that he endured \u201c<\/span>constant verbal, physical, emotional and psychological abuse<\/span><\/a>\u201d at the hands of Gill officers and on one occasion, he witnessed a Lieutenant drag a four-year-old boy down the stairs in the middle of the night after he had wet the bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was hit across the mouth for standing up to him,\u201d he told the Commissioners.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He also said that when police picked up runaway boys, <\/span>nobody ever asked why they had absconded<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cChildren couldn\u2019t write at school because they were caned so much, but nobody asked why. There were never any deep and searching questions,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cI went to Goulburn High School and was told I was dumb. But I could never equate stupidity with being an orphan. It didn\u2019t make sense. I don\u2019t think anyone really reaches their full potential in an abusive situation. Not everyone was abused but in that environment, everyone was frightened.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another survivor arrived at Gill in 1958 and spent two years there after \u201cwagging school\u201d and being accused of breaking, entering and stealing from a house, which he has always denied. He now says he wants to <\/span>\u201cdestroy\u201d the Salvation Army<\/span><\/a> for the sexual abuse he experienced at Gill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOn my first night there I was molested by a Major. I was saved by his wife. On the third night, I promised her I\u2019d never speak of it again because she was a friend of my mother\u2019s. I never did until I found CLAN [Care Leavers Australasia Network] in 2003\/04,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He said he\u2019d never had ill feelings towards the Salvation Army until 2003\/04 when he joined the CLAN committee. He had always suspected he was not the only victim of the Major who abused him. <\/span>He could see the fear in the other boys\u2019 eyes<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As it turned out, he was right \u2014 <\/span>several ex-residents had taken their own lives<\/span><\/a> and many survivors had the same experience that he did.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI met boys who told the same story (of sexual and physical abuse) back to me. It had gone on for 50 years and the Salvation Army were enablers. What I\u2019d like now is to destroy them. It\u2019s been too long and too many lives destroyed.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Salvation Army admitted the horrific child abuse was their fault\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During the Royal Commission, Major Peter Farthing (who was coordinating the Salvation Army\u2019s response to the abuse) admitted that \u201cevil people\u201d had committed sex crimes in their Homes during the 1960s and 1970s due to poor regulation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He was referring to the four homes the Royal Commission was investigating at the time: <\/span>Endeavour Training Farm at Riverview<\/span><\/a> and the Alkira Home for Boys at Indooroopilly in Queensland along with the Bexley Home and Gill Memorial Home in New South Wales.<\/span><\/p>\n

Major Farthing said that there would have been very few written policies to protect the children and <\/span>there was \u201cnever enough love\u201d<\/span><\/a> in the Salvation Army Homes. He also suggested that corporal punishment varied from Home to Home depending on the manager at the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Some perpetrators were plain evil people… and the worst offenders were the worst liars. I put these ideas not to excuse our horrible failures but to seek understanding so that such damage can be avoided,” he said.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Major Farthing was also questioned about the Salvation Army\u2019s recruitment policies and the handling of complaints against five of its officers. He said <\/span>there was no policy in the 1960s<\/span><\/a> to check in with the former employers of those wishing to join the Salvation Army.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the offending officers was dismissed from the Salvation Army in 1961 following a severe reprimand for violence against a child. However, he was allowed to re-enter in 1966 despite the fact his former employer, the NSW Department of Child Welfare, advised against it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Major Farthing said letting the Officer reenter was <\/span>the worst decision the Salvation Army ever made<\/span><\/a>. He described him as the Army\u2019s worst and most serious offender, and they had received a large number of complaints from his victims. There were \u201cprobably more out there who have not been in touch with us yet\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A few years after his reacceptance into the Salvation Army, the Officer became the manager of Gill. He also worked at Alkira, Bexley and Indooroopilly. He brutally physically and sexually abused boys at all four Homes. The <\/span>boys lived in fear of his sadistic and seemingly random outbursts<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1997, the Officer was <\/span>acquitted when he was tried for buggery and indecent assault<\/span><\/a>. In 2008, he died around the same time the Salvation Army finally went to the police about the allegations against him. There was no investigation until the Royal Commission started in 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n
