This month we have any exciting photo update with pictures from January, thanks to Paul N. While it seems the Maximum is in destruction probably due to the Army they are the past offenders. The rest of the buildings are slowly coming down. Old Mcdonald is a cheap old coot and is trying to selvage whatever he can. The Admin block and caretaker house is still on the market, clearly still seldom interest. I wanted to do two parts to this blog, as I managed to obtain photos of a ECT machine that was brought at a Palmerston North hospital auction few years back now. This machine is believed to have been used at Lake Alice, it has a sticker remaining on it saying 'V6' Villa 6. The ECT machine was also used in the early 2000's for a TVNZ documentary on Lake Alice. Check out the photos,
Our thoughts are with the people of Christchurch in this terrible time, again. Another blog down! Nathan,

I was in Lake Alice as a child and was abused by nurses physically and sexually treated like an animal really.

I stumbled across this website recently. Quite disturbing what I am witnessing here. Now, GM, whoever you maybe you seem to be taking a pot shot at Mr Banks which is quite apparent to me. May I ask your qualifications and your profession, please. I am very interested to learn what makes a person harass a survivor of a well known historical abuse situation in NZ, back in the 70s. Do you know this person? Can you please elaborate. I have read many stories from this victim, which have been proven factual, and express my sympathy to him and to other survivors of NZ's national shame. These were children none of which had any psychiatric illness. Most come from neglectful backgrounds, ie alcoholic and abusive parents situations. Lake Alice was not a medical institution but that of a house of horrors.

Att: Nathan, I have made comments on a NZ website, Psychwatch NZ, regarding Mr Banks and his family, in the past. I understand he has supported and assisted your site generously. Is that so? I saw you deleted a comment by Mr Banks. Can you please explain why you would delete a survivor's comment who has come forward with the intention to receive proper justice, which is criminal prosecution against staff, not compensation, which you and "GM" speak of.
