My brothers have not been back since that day and I have no intention of sending them or any other child from my family. After almost a year and half I still feel so let down and disappointed by the people I trusted to take care of my brothers. My little brother has been left emotionally scared by the treatment of the staff members and they should be ashamed of themselves. They have been reported to ofsted and the NSPCC.
