The ECHO should be ashamed that they even ran a story which singled out an very good school, who work extremely hard with its youngsters and who have never, ever, been under an investigations for such crimes.

Until myself and the other victims of abuse at Salesian schools came forward, which led to the current investigation into allegations of child abuse at schools in England run by the Salesians, (Savio High School is run by the Salesians), there had never been any 'investigations for such crimes' in any of the other schools run by the Salesians either. The current police investigations (as at 30th May) had recorded eleven new allegations from seven victims, naming eight suspects, and involving the Salesian schools in Battersea, Oxford and Farnborough. This is in addition to previously reported cases, including my own, at Salesian College Chertsey, and Salesian College Blaisdon, and the Salesian Seminary college (now closed) at Shrigley Hall inCheshire. The Liverpool Echo were absolutely right to publish this story. We (the victims) have been silenced for too long. We are now breaking that silence, and I encourage all victims to come forward and talk to the police.
