Hi my mum was in smyllum from 1959 till around 1967 and is desperate to hear from others who were in around that time especially the whereabouts of Margaret  ********  who was her best friend she had two sisters Sheila and Christine ******** also ann marie **** and her sister philomena as my mum remembers Sammy their little brother and what she was told as to how he died I grew up knowing about that story and was shocked to here it on the news a few weeks ago if anyone can help I would be grateful as my mum is an amazing lady you went through so much that talking to others might give her some closure to the horrific treatment that the children of  smyllum were subjected to thankyou.

Hi

You haven't included your mum's name.

EDIT - reply above was to a new post

As it appears your mum is still alive - please do not give her details here in accordance with moderators notes above
