"I found some clothes and ran away. I managed to get home, my mum saw me and took me to the police station. This was in the early 1980s.
"I can't block out the things that happened to me at Lower Lee, what the staff did to me. It's 40 years later and I can't get it out of my head. "I was constantly, constantly frightened at Lower Lee because you didn't know what the staff would do next. For anyone affected by the issues raised in this story, information about a range of support is available via the BBC Action Line
