Survivor of Fornethy 'House of Horrors' demands 'shrine to abuse' is demolished as eerie pics emerge
dailyrecord.co.ukA survivor of the notorious Fornethy 'House of Horrors' has called for the building to be demolished after eerie images showed the abandoned school left to rot.Lynne Sheerin was one of hundreds of girls who endured mental, physical, and sexual abuse at the mansion in Kilry, Angus, between 1960 and 1980.
The then eight-year-old attended the school for six weeks in 1975 and was subjected to unimaginable abuse at the hands of teachers and staff.The former pupil, from Mosspark in Glasgow, was told that she would be attending the school for a "holiday" but was beaten, force-fed, inappropriately touched and mentally abused by staff.Speaking to the Record, Lynne, now 56, called for the former facility to be flattened after new images surfaced of the building lying in a state of decay.She said: "The place should be bulldozed.
It stands as a shrine to the abuse that hundreds of girls suffered there. It makes me sick knowing it's still there, despite the abuse and all the years that have gone by."Myself and the hundreds of other survivors would want to hit the first brick if there was an operation to tear it to the ground.
Someone suggested to me that it should be replaced with beds of flowers, and I would agree with that."As long as that building remains standing, we will continue to suffer."The Record understands that the 16th century building was abandoned in 1993 after the school was permanently closed.
