Ettal monastery school in Bravia, Germany made the headlines when the police raided it based on suspicion of abuse. According to various sources hundreds of boys had been beaten, many of them severely, by staff at the school decades ago.
It is not clear how many who will end up being charged and given their day in court but it is safe to say at this point that it couldn’t have been fun to be there as a teenager.
