Lake Alice Hospital Website

TV 3's 60 Minutes ran a documentary tonight on abuse in a boys home near Wellington during the 1970-80's. These youths where subjected to physical, mental and of course emotional abuse while one or 2 men mentioned they where sexually abused, I am sure they where not the only ones!

So back in 2003-4 I think it was, Sonja Cooper was to represent a few of the Lake Alice patients to gain further compo & return of there fee's.
She is now representing the Men from the Wellington boys home. This is the same woman to whom did the Lake Alice paper work incorrectly so it would be declined and also made negative remarks towards the case.

She is now taking the government to court to sue for a whooping $1 million a patient! Just think how much she will make? On top of all this it makes you wonder if she just used LA as a learning curve for her future legal 'plans'. These men deserve something for the horrible acts that were subjected upon them but PLEASE get a grip on reality the LA patients got barely enough for a deposit for a house and while a few others did get a slightly larger sum it was no more then $100,000. Is this amount enough for being locked up and physically, sexually and medically ABUSED... Uh NO!   

Cooper is a money hungry vermin she couldn't help the LA patients to even get there legal fee's back yet she thinks she has a case for a bunch of teenagers who where beaten up in a prison style boys home, isn't that what happens in those condition's? The youths in Lake Alice where in there to be helped with there so called mental condition not for it to be made worse by the ones whom there parents entrusted.

The government need to finish what they started
and Cooper 'keep on dreaming!
