St.Joseph's (orphanage) School for Boys was located in Englewood Cliffs,N.J. until 1958.
In 1958 the inmates were sent to Rockleigh,N.J.
My brother,age 4 and I,age 9 had the grave misfortune of being placed in the Englewood Cliffs nunnery from 1943 to 1946.
The abuse in that place would take a book to tell by the nuns and a male proctor who had a cork arm (lost in in WWI) and used the cork arm and a drum stick to beat the boys at the slighest provocation,as the nuns did also.
The food we were given to eat wa barely editible while the nuns ate top of the line in a sparkling dining room with top of the line cutlery and dishes.
My brother who had an emotional problem there used to wet his pants and as a result had his head smashed against a blackboard was made to wear a dress for a number of days in front of the other boys.
I came out that place with rhematic fever and my brother came out with rickets (a vitamin and mineral disease).
All of you should read the abuse that permeated Catholic orphanages for the last 100 years around the world and may still continue.
The Rockleigh location has 3 open lawsuit abuse cases pending.
