8 people report child cruelty


"Ex-residents of a children's home have described being beaten, made to wash in toilet water and sleep on floors."

"Up to eight people reported cruelty at St Athan Croft in Castle Vale, Birmingham, dating back to the 1970s and 80s, the BBC understands."

"In February 2014 police began investigating claims against former live-in house parents Patricia and James Connolly."

"However, officers could not take action because the couple are dead."

"One former resident said she was one of about 16 children living in three rooms at the home."
