She told them exactly what she thought of them and their apparent hearing difficulties.
I remember her telling them they had no right to tell families what to do, especially as they had no experience with a real family anyway.

I was talking to a friend in Baltimore, USA one day and told him this and he told me his mother rescued him too, as the priests made the boys swim naked in the school swimming pool. He was still sick to his stomach 30 years later at their antics.
