Class suit against 12 provincial schools
In Edmonton’s Alberta School for the Deaf, a student who went there from 1957 ~ 1970 claims to have suffered from systematic physical and mental abuse. According to her, she was trained never to say "No" and whenever she did, the school staff abused her. This conditioned her never to say No to anybody even later in life. As a result, she became very prone to further abuse by other people.
The former student is now a plaintiff in a class action suit against the Alberta government which ran the school during that period. The suit is a part of an action against provincial governments which ran 12 special boarding schools from the 1950's to the 1990's. The claim covers around 51,000 students.
