‘Wayward Girls’: Novel sheds light on forgotten abuses at Buffalo institution

WGRZ2

The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, in a statement, said the facility “was not under the control or authority of the diocese” and that it has no records related to it. The facility was supervised by Catholic nuns who were members of the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity, a Catholic religious order…. The institution at 485 Best St. in Buffalo was described in promotional materials as “a residence and school for troubled teenagers who can be helped by love, guidance, religion, therapy and school”…. O’Hara said she later attempted suicide. After being transferred to another facility in Albany, she said a social worker warned her to stay silent. “This will never be spoken of again,” the social worker allegedly told O’Hara. “And if it is, nobody will believe you and nobody will care.”
