Well sadly the Channel Islands are in the news for all the wrong reasons. Jersey is currently in the media after the skeleton of a child was found buried in concrete in what is now a youth hostel, but was an orphanage, school and home for children with special needs in the past. There has been a child abuse investigation going on the the last couple of years, but this is a really sad development in the story. To then add to speculation the States of Jersey (their government) has now been accused of covering up any problems. Growing up on Guernsey in the Channel Islands was a pleasure and a privilege and I am really sad to hear stories like this. I am so aware that I had a charmed childhood, and remembering that other children did not is hard sometimes. I hope there will be a resolution to this dreadful story and that justice will be done for the child, and any others who are discovered in the future.
