Review into shocking allegations care home gave girls 'cocktail of drugs' which led to birth defects  12 January 2015

Twenty years on from allegations of horrific abuse at a Church of England care home, which include pumping children full of experimental drugs, an investigation is underway into exactly what happened there.

The church has launched a review into Kendall House, a care home in Kent, where a number of residents have so far come forward to claim they have had children with birth defects as a result.

Many of the women say they are suffering from serious health problems themselves after they were "constantly overdosed" with tranquilisers, antipsychotics and drugs used to treat conditions such as Parkinson's disease....

Her records show she was overmedicated more than 1,200 times.

Many of the women, including Teresa, say they were also sexually abused at the home, sometimes while they were unconscious from the drugs....

Other Kendall House girls say their children have been born with brain tumours, heart defects and learning disabilities....

More than 20 women have since received financial compensation from the church over sexual abuse they suffered but there has been no public acknowledgement of the drugs which were allegedly forced on them or an apology.
