Man ran away from abuse at home, only to be raped and beaten in state care


LAWRENCE SMITH/Stuff
Mr X gave evidence to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into abuse in care on Monday. (File photo)
His aunt then called the police, and “I was taken to the police station and locked in a cell overnight”.
On another occasion, he was kidnapped by a neighbour and raped, he said. He ran away again that night.
“What gets me is that nobody ever asked me why I kept running away, no social worker, no one.”
Eventually X was put in Owairaka Boys Home in Auckland, which he referred to as a prison.
He was forced to clean the toilets with a toothbrush, which he then had to use to brush his teeth.
