Section on historical abuse?

edit

No reference to historical abuse scandals? The ABC reports 31 claims made against staff at the Boys Town, Engadine. Also, it'd probably be worth distinguishing it from Boys' Town, Beaudesert, which received the most claims against staff of all Catholic institutions with 219.

A former priest and teacher at Boys' Town (Engadine) was given 15 years jail (at least nine before he's eligible for parole) for 18 offences against seven boys in 2008. It's worth mentioning that came shortly before the center renamed in 2010, allegedly for the reason that it no longer exclusively served boys and not (just) to get away from a horrendous association.

This is all public record, so I can't see any libel/defamation concerns as long as the page just covers what's already been published in papers.

I did read somewhere that the management team had changed in some significant way when Boys' Town became the Dunlea Centre, but I can't find the reference now and it wasn't clear on the details.

I just think the page should cover the abuse scandal and clarify the relationship of the present day centre to the centre during the abuse (and distinguish it from the other Boys' Town with a bigger abuse scandal).
