Please read this. Don't run away. This book is about ("Domestic abuse") and ('Sexual Abuse") Most people don't want to talk about it? You say taboo you say "NO" too hard subject.
It entitles everyone to be brought up in a safe and secure environment, free from violence, abuse, and cruelty. It is one of the fundamental rights of anyone brought into the world by parents who should love and care for them above all else.
But for Robert Sherriff, it wasn't like that. First behind the closed doors of an ordinary family home and then in the dark recesses of a society that was ill-equipped to deal with the trauma and suffering he experienced, Robert found that mercy was just a dream.
At the hands of a brutally violent father, his complicit mother and a society indifferent to his suffering, Robert became another statistic in the South Australia State's role of shame, exposed to institutional abuse, rape, and murder.
In his book, Nobody's Home, Robert tells his story in graphic detail as he literally struggles to survive a system where young children were commodities and the law turned a blind eye to unimaginable evil.
He writes about the men and the mechanisms that consumed their innocence and then discarded them to a life of shameful silence, only living freely when his father took his own life.
By speaking out, against the odds, Robert is concluding his miracle of survival and giving hope to others. if you are an abuse survivor, this book is for you. Remember, it was not your fault. you were a child innocent. You trusted everyone you did not know there was so much evil in this world who listened to your screams who listened to you crying who who-who?
I hope you put my book on your list. I feel it is important as abuse survivors to read other's stories. We must support one another. My book is an honest look into my past. If you ever read my memoir NOBODY'S HOME please click on any of the links below.

My Parents were both born out of wedlock. In the days, this was a no, no. WHO cares? Get the fuck over it. Does this give him the excuse to be a prick? Who would take it out on all those people around him? People he loved? This was his biggest hang-up. His mother was a pro and I think he would have often thought out of all these 100,s of men who was his father?
My Father nearly drowned when he was nine this is the chain of events that could have almost been a major part of history that could have affected his descendants 35 people who would not have been born if my Father had drowned? My Parent's first met in 1952, July. My Mother told me it was love at first sight. My parents got married in 1953, my Father had all his RAAF mates at their wedding, and they all got drunk. It outraged my Mother she told me. I was born 10–25 pm 8th July 1954 one of twin baby boys two pounds each born at Carlton hospital Victoria Australia. My Brother was born 10–35 pm. You could hold us in one hand surely a gift from heaven how lucky? Little did I know I was about to ascend into a hell a hell of horror a horror from hell a place of darkness and no light. Some people do not deserve children. Years later we were told we were the lightest babies to survive up till 1954 in Victoria. I can only imagine how big I was? You could hold me in one hand. Then if Robert's father had killed him when he was a seven-years-old 17 of his descendants would not be here.
Our God listens
Remember, God is in all of us his Spirit and the Son the Holy Ghost our bodies and his church and in our prayers. Our mouth is his voice a voice for all. Our eyes are his eyes even if we are blind. Our God listens to our prayers we listen to him. We are the Rock of Gods church, and God is my only true God. Love God as you love yourself. To love yourself, you must show love. AMEN.
God loves me for who I am. AMEN.
Mount Everest
We all have a Mount Everest in our lives to climb. She is so beautiful yet so precarious. No mountain is tall enough to make me feel too small. Nothing will ever knock me down. Or keep me down. I am stronger than that. I will walk tall hold my head up high. Will you walk with me by your side lets climb that mountain together? Let's never give up. There's help. I will reach far and wide for the clouds the stars in the dead of night with God by my side. We talk I give praise to God.
AMEN.

In other words, "your Stupid "my Fathers response
We moved to Port Pirie South Australia where our Father's Mother lived. It is here where my life will be changed forever, the day my Father would break my arm and four ribs with a broomstick and punched after punch and kick after kick. They don't shot horses, do they? Well, fucking shot me. THEN. Let's go do it. I remember the times when my Father was beating me I would scream out while crying Daddy; please stop Daddy stop I love you. Stop, stop, stop. When you find it tough, put your hand on your Heart and feel the beat. Please love me.
I remember the police took me to the hospital then back to the Police station stripped me of all my clothes and took photos of me naked I then went back to the Hospital. My Father went to court, and he was fined £50 pounds a lot of money back in 1961 The Judge called my Father a Vicious Creature. The day my Father went to court he admitted two other counts. {I was in a serious to critical condition}
The State of South Australia Government made me a Ward of the State when I was 6–7 years old. Back in 1961. It might have been a lot better if my Parents had an abortion. I it was not legal back in the early 50, s? The Governments of the past and present in SA South Australia have blood on their hands for those Wards of State who has committed suicide and those who don't have a voice. Or I want is justice for every one of these Wards of State. And to give them a voice.
My heart
My heart would be so broken. When they put in Glandore boy's home, I felt like the fire had gone out? I was so overcome with grief, shattered. It scared me I was in fear of my life after what had happened with my father. I thought this was the regular thing a seven-year- boy goes through? And as I have said many times. Sex abuse will last a lifetime.
Reporting of physical abuse to police or rape back in 1961 was not a big issue for the Police most times. The woman did not report attacks to Police. Men in Australia thought they had the right to slap around a child break ribs and arms and just get a fine. Males in Australia also thought they had the God-given the right to rape their Wife. Who would stop them? Most times they did not report it to police. Not sure if this happened around the World? Or just in Australia. Separate times different countries in various locations.
My Father's hate for me was so virulent, yet I loved him so why? I think my Father knew his happiness was his greatest enemy, and his insanity was his tormented friend a friend who could not show any response only the evil within his mind an account without a destiny a mind that became lost in his own self- importance. Could I never understand why? Should I show pity? Yes 40 years later. Have I no right to judge my Father it is not my call? It will be God, s call. I have forgiven him if I don't it would kill me.
My Father on many occasions raped my Mother in front of me as a child. In one sense it horrified me he was hurting my Mother. I understood nothing about these sexual assaults until I was older. I then knew what a sick piece of shit he was. Thank God, I did not take the same road as him. The beast from Hell.
John Bartlett started at Glandore boy's home 1955 third most senior officer.
He was a very tall man, solid build; he looked like a bear. His hands were quite big, and he had dark black hair. He was in his mid-30, s. He had very deep brown eyes. I would have loved to be able to read his mind to see where all his hate began? I wonder if he was related to my Father. He was not a happy man never laughed.
Here is the bastard who sexually assaulted me again and again plus all the other boys. He was an ass-hole, mean bastard; prick, scum of the earth.
Bartlett had his son at Glandore for a trip he was born with Cerebral Palsy
His son was crying and screaming a bit Bartlett smashed the fuck out of him it scared the shit out of me and the other kids I will never forget that day.
I told the Police after the first attack at Port Pirie and Glandore Boys Home. I would get so hot and found the only way to cool down was. To tip water. All over my head. So, since then whenever I became a little flustered I still tip water over my head. Crazy hey?
I don't know what age he lived to or if he is still alive?
I believe he has earnt himself a dance with the Devil.
THE SHED - The day my innocence was stolen Glandore Boys Home.
I will always remember the day they stole my innocence. I was a seven-year-old boy. I had just gone through the cruellest thing, the most disturbing and grotesque experience. That could happen to a child. The people I most loved trusted. I looked up to my parents. I loved my parents; it did not matter what they did. I loved them and wanted them back even after what my Father did. I would fret about them; I was so loyal to them even after my Father belted me to an inch of my life. My Father broke my arm and broke four ribs. This child at some stage would have had his spirit broken. And being apart from his Mother, who he would miss every night, the tears the pain the poor little boy would go through don't forget he is still only seven-years-old he is still a babe. He is such a tiny child. He would have fretted so severely for his Twin Brother; he missed so much. Imagine the pain this boy felt being torn apart from his family. He would cry all night and cry out loudly and vigorously. He then would scream the place down and cry, sob. O how he would sob. But did anyone care about this little boy? Who could not understand, what was happening to him? And what it was all about, and I still can't get it? I still cry up till this day and year. Why these bastards did what they did that happened to me. Remember I did not want to be a part of this experience. So much violence. That was at home or the sex abuse. At Glandore Boys Home. STOP. Let me get me to get off this train ride. Set my spirit free. Please show me mercy. Throw me off this train to nowhere. It is during this time I found out you died, and I cried why do people die? I saw a dead bird on the ground, and one of the boys then told me it had gone to birdie heaven. That little boy inside me is talking like that seven-year-old. To me. He has been so sorrowful while written this book. I remember the time I was crying out the front of Glandore boys home naked. And I wanted to be dead. Like that bird that other kid told me about, I said I was going to walk in front of a car. And get broken up and then I must of realize I would not have been here anymore I did not care I just wanted it all to stop hurting. It was just not fair. What do you expect what was in my mind? Stones, rocks, throw me of that freight train.

Please read this. Don't run away. This book is about ("Domestic abuse") and ('Sexual Abuse") Most people don't want to talk about it? You say taboo you say "NO" too hard subject.
It entitles everyone to be brought up in a safe and secure environment, free from violence, abuse, and cruelty. It is one of the fundamental rights of anyone brought into the world by parents who should love and care for them above all else.
But for Robert Sherriff, it wasn't like that. First behind the closed doors of an ordinary family home and then in the dark recesses of a society that was ill-equipped to deal with the trauma and suffering he experienced, Robert found that mercy was just a dream.
At the hands of a brutally violent father, his complicit mother and a society indifferent to his suffering, Robert became another statistic in the South Australia State's role of shame, exposed to institutional abuse, rape, and murder.
In his book, Nobody's Home, Robert tells his story in graphic detail as he literally struggles to survive a system where young children were commodities and the law turned a blind eye to unimaginable evil.
He writes about the men and the mechanisms that consumed their innocence and then discarded them to a life of shameful silence, only living freely when his father took his own life.
By speaking out, against the odds, Robert is concluding his miracle of survival and giving hope to others. if you are an abuse survivor, this book is for you. Remember, it was not your fault. you were a child innocent. You trusted everyone you did not know there was so much evil in this world who listened to your screams who listened to you crying who who-who?
I hope you put my book on your list. I feel it is important as abuse survivors to read other's stories. We must support one another. My book is an honest look into my past. If you ever read my memoir NOBODY'S HOME please click on any of the links below.

Robert is now the voice for all those who don't have a voice
Robert's latest book 'Nobody's Home' is an autobiographical story of his childhood where he endured the violence of his alcoholic father and his systematic sexual abuse in the care of the all these South Australia State Government Instructions. Robert survived one of the darkest periods in Australia's recent history where children were currency in the hands of evil men who could operate with impunity. This book reveals the horror of children in care in the sixties and seventies and explores Robert's journey from victim to survivor. When Robert wrote this book, he wrote it as a seven-year-old boy. A teenager boy to 61-year-old-man. All his personally would come to the surface. Robert is 64 now this book has taken three years for him to write.

Feel it deep inside?
Smell it?

Can you feel the history?

The fantasy?
Magic?

My Parents were both born out of wedlock. In the days, this was a no, no. WHO cares? Get the fuck over it. Does this give him the excuse to be a prick? Who would take it out on all those people around him? People he loved? This was his biggest hang-up. His mother was a pro and I think he would have often thought out of all these 100,s of men who was his father?
My Father nearly drowned when he was nine this is the chain of events that could have almost been a major part of history that could have affected his descendants 35 people who would not have been born if my Father had drowned? My Parent's first met in 1952, July. My Mother told me it was love at first sight. My parents got married in 1953, my Father had all his RAAF mates at their wedding, and they all got drunk. It outraged my Mother she told me. I was born 10–25 pm 8th July 1954 one of twin baby boys two pounds each born at Carlton hospital Victoria Australia. My Brother was born 10–35 pm. You could hold us in one hand surely a gift from heaven how lucky? Little did I know I was about to ascend into a hell a hell of horror a horror from hell a place of darkness and no light. Some people do not deserve children. Years later we were told we were the lightest babies to survive up till 1954 in Victoria. I can only imagine how big I was? You could hold me in one hand. Then if Robert's father had killed him when he was a seven-years-old 17 of his descendants would not be here.
Our God listens
Remember, God is in all of us his Spirit and the Son the Holy Ghost our bodies and his church and in our prayers. Our mouth is his voice a voice for all. Our eyes are his eyes even if we are blind. Our God listens to our prayers we listen to him. We are the Rock of Gods church, and God is my only true God. Love God as you love yourself. To love yourself, you must show love. AMEN.
God loves me for who I am. AMEN.
Mount Everest
We all have a Mount Everest in our lives to climb. She is so beautiful yet so precarious. No mountain is tall enough to make me feel too small. Nothing will ever knock me down. Or keep me down. I am stronger than that. I will walk tall hold my head up high. Will you walk with me by your side lets climb that mountain together? Let's never give up. There's help. I will reach far and wide for the clouds the stars in the dead of night with God by my side. We talk I give praise to God.
AMEN.

In other words, "your Stupid "my Fathers response
We moved to Port Pirie South Australia where our Father's Mother lived. It is here where my life will be changed forever, the day my Father would break my arm and four ribs with a broomstick and punched after punch and kick after kick. They don't shot horses, do they? Well, fucking shot me. THEN. Let's go do it. I remember the times when my Father was beating me I would scream out while crying Daddy; please stop Daddy stop I love you. Stop, stop, stop. When you find it tough, put your hand on your Heart and feel the beat. Please love me.
I remember the police took me to the hospital then back to the Police station stripped me of all my clothes and took photos of me naked I then went back to the Hospital. My Father went to court, and he was fined £50 pounds a lot of money back in 1961 The Judge called my Father a Vicious Creature. The day my Father went to court he admitted two other counts. {I was in a serious to critical condition}
The State of South Australia Government made me a Ward of the State when I was 6–7 years old. Back in 1961. It might have been a lot better if my Parents had an abortion. I it was not legal back in the early 50, s? The Governments of the past and present in SA South Australia have blood on their hands for those Wards of State who has committed suicide and those who don't have a voice. Or I want is justice for every one of these Wards of State. And to give them a voice.
My heart
My heart would be so broken. When they put in Glandore boy's home, I felt like the fire had gone out? I was so overcome with grief, shattered. It scared me I was in fear of my life after what had happened with my father. I thought this was the regular thing a seven-year- boy goes through? And as I have said many times. Sex abuse will last a lifetime.
Reporting of physical abuse to police or rape back in 1961 was not a big issue for the Police most times. The woman did not report attacks to Police. Men in Australia thought they had the right to slap around a child break ribs and arms and just get a fine. Males in Australia also thought they had the God-given the right to rape their Wife. Who would stop them? Most times they did not report it to police. Not sure if this happened around the World? Or just in Australia. Separate times different countries in various locations.
My Father's hate for me was so virulent, yet I loved him so why? I think my Father knew his happiness was his greatest enemy, and his insanity was his tormented friend a friend who could not show any response only the evil within his mind an account without a destiny a mind that became lost in his own self- importance. Could I never understand why? Should I show pity? Yes 40 years later. Have I no right to judge my Father it is not my call? It will be God, s call. I have forgiven him if I don't it would kill me.
My Father on many occasions raped my Mother in front of me as a child. In one sense it horrified me he was hurting my Mother. I understood nothing about these sexual assaults until I was older. I then knew what a sick piece of shit he was. Thank God, I did not take the same road as him. The beast from Hell.
John Bartlett started at Glandore boy's home 1955 third most senior officer.
He was a very tall man, solid build; he looked like a bear. His hands were quite big, and he had dark black hair. He was in his mid-30, s. He had very deep brown eyes. I would have loved to be able to read his mind to see where all his hate began? I wonder if he was related to my Father. He was not a happy man never laughed.
Here is the bastard who sexually assaulted me again and again plus all the other boys. He was an ass-hole, mean bastard; prick, scum of the earth.
Bartlett had his son at Glandore for a trip he was born with Cerebral Palsy
His son was crying and screaming a bit Bartlett smashed the fuck out of him it scared the shit out of me and the other kids I will never forget that day.
I told the Police after the first attack at Port Pirie and Glandore Boys Home. I would get so hot and found the only way to cool down was. To tip water. All over my head. So, since then whenever I became a little flustered I still tip water over my head. Crazy hey?
I don't know what age he lived to or if he is still alive?
I believe he has earnt himself a dance with the Devil.
THE SHED - The day my innocence was stolen Glandore Boys Home.
I will always remember the day they stole my innocence. I was a seven-year-old boy. I had just gone through the cruellest thing, the most disturbing and grotesque experience. That could happen to a child. The people I most loved trusted. I looked up to my parents. I loved my parents; it did not matter what they did. I loved them and wanted them back even after what my Father did. I would fret about them; I was so loyal to them even after my Father belted me to an inch of my life. My Father broke my arm and broke four ribs. This child at some stage would have had his spirit broken. And being apart from his Mother, who he would miss every night, the tears the pain the poor little boy would go through don't forget he is still only seven-years-old he is still a babe. He is such a tiny child. He would have fretted so severely for his Twin Brother; he missed so much. Imagine the pain this boy felt being torn apart from his family. He would cry all night and cry out loudly and vigorously. He then would scream the place down and cry, sob. O how he would sob. But did anyone care about this little boy? Who could not understand, what was happening to him? And what it was all about, and I still can't get it? I still cry up till this day and year. Why these bastards did what they did that happened to me. Remember I did not want to be a part of this experience. So much violence. That was at home or the sex abuse. At Glandore Boys Home. STOP. Let me get me to get off this train ride. Set my spirit free. Please show me mercy. Throw me off this train to nowhere. It is during this time I found out you died, and I cried why do people die? I saw a dead bird on the ground, and one of the boys then told me it had gone to birdie heaven. That little boy inside me is talking like that seven-year-old. To me. He has been so sorrowful while written this book. I remember the time I was crying out the front of Glandore boys home naked. And I wanted to be dead. Like that bird that other kid told me about, I said I was going to walk in front of a car. And get broken up and then I must of realize I would not have been here anymore I did not care I just wanted it all to stop hurting. It was just not fair. What do you expect what was in my mind? Stones, rocks, throw me of that freight train.
