The boarding school ‘monster’ who always walked free

Rebecca Woods - BBC News

This article from BBC News tells the stories of people who experienced abuse in childhood at the hands of the head teacher at Brookside School for Maladjusted Children, a boarding school in Shropshire, UK, in the 1960s and 70s. "Branded disturbed and dysfunctional," says the article, "the children had been sent to the prestigious-looking institution in the countryside by councils, probation services and sometimes their own frustrated parents. The man they say was responsible for the abuse, head teacher Jack Mount, was charged with almost 100 sexual offences during his lifetime."
