Book description
At just six years old Tom Wilson fell prey to a predator of the worst
sort. David Murphy was supposed to be his carer, instead he lifted his
victims from their beds in the dead of night, and Tom was powerless to
stop it.
Tom endured years of horrific abuse which led to years of silence
and self-torture. He grew up to be a troubled man, stumbling through
care homes, schools, borstal and eventually prison. The damage that
was done to him in those early years had destroyed his life.
Then, one day, Tom read a newspaper article which unlocked the
terrible memories he'd kept hidden for over forty tormented years. And
a painful battle for justice began...
Tom Wilson was placed in the care of the Scottish social
services at just 10 months old. It wasn't until he was 45 that he
first spoke about the terrible attrocities he endured during the six
years he was at St Margaret's Children's Home in Fife. Tom Wilson is
married and his brother is the world famous darts player, Jocky Wilson.
