		Some of them were put into corrective institutions because they might've been a little bit wild in their youth; some of the girls particularly were running away from abusive situations in their own home and really shouldn't have been in - locked up for it, but they were sort of blamed as being uncontrollable.
		Yes, I think everybody was charged a fee and we heard of one case where a sole father got so far into debt he owed 50 or 80 pounds to the government for the care of his children and he just ran away and they never saw him again.
		Leneen, just on the sexual abuse - we've certainly heard from witnesses who talk about sexual abuse by older boys on younger boys by actual officers and volunteers - even by people coming in occasionally off the street.

		This was an inquiry that was born of necessity and in considerable controversy.
