Just to back up Dan K's testimony, I too suffered a nervous
breakdown shortly after managing to escape from the clutches of the
SES and St Vedast, where we as children (i.e. myself and very many
of my peers whom I witnessed), were subjected to physical and mental
abuse. As a result I have been suffering with mental-health related
problems ever since. I have undergone a great amount of therapy in
an attempt to overcome these problems, but my particular condition
has proved to be very resistant to treatment and is quite
incapacitating. I also know of several other ex-members who have
encountered similar difficulties. A clear pattern obviously seems to
be emerging....
