We hope that it provides some tangible recognition of the seriousness of the abuse and the hurt suffered. We also share the sentiments stated by Manny on Friday, that this milestone will assist him in moving forward and form part of the healing process.
As an institution, we condemn any form of abuse and acknowledge the serious harm it causes. We remain committed to provide a safe environment for all children in our care and continue to work tirelessly toward ensuring the regretful mistakes of the past are never repeated.
