The Brothers stank at child care… but some excelled at cruelty and paedophilia The illegitimate son of a mother with deep emotional and psychological problems, from the age of three months Chris Caldwell grew up in three Western Australian orphanages and schools run by the Catholic Church. It was a tough life. Even so, some moments were mildly enjoyable – but being surrounded by constant physical and sexual child abuse was an existence that, while he survived it, Chris was never comfortable with. In this raw, and sometimes amusing, account of his experiences, he grapples with the paradox of how men of the cloth who were charged with the upbringing of Chris and his peers could be so sanctimonious in church and yet so depraved and cruel in the classroom and the bedroom.
