Nuns arrested over Smyllum child abuse claims

Our thanks to Jean for this. The start of the piece:

Twelve people, some of them nuns, have been arrested over claims of abuse at a former children’s home in Lanarkshire.

Police said 11 women and one man – all aged between 62 and 85 – had been charged in connection with the abuse of children at Smyllum Park.

The home, which closed in 1981, was run by a Catholic order known as Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul.
