Children ‘subjected to abuse in home on Jersey’

A husband and wife employed as house parents inflicted “casual and routine violence” at a children’s home on Jersey where youngsters were beaten and had their faces rubbed in puddles of urine, a court heard.

Morag and Anthony Jordan, both 62 and of Kirriemuir, Angus, were accused of acting like “intimidating bullies” during the time they worked at the Haut de la Garenne home as they went on trial on the island yesterday.
