Gayle LloydHOST
What are the stories of your lifetime that you you kind of carry around with you that are the most memorable that you feel you've helped with?

Marion ScottGUEST
I was one of the very first journalists to write about child abuse in the children's homes and the residential schools throughout Scotland.

Marion ScottGUEST
And initially, I had absolutely sackfuls of hate mail I always remember my boss used to hide it from me how many sackfuls he had that day.

Marion ScottGUEST
But there was a huge feeling within the public that this sort of thing just couldn't happen, particularly if there was a religious organisation attached to this children's home or a residential school.

What happens there?

Marion ScottGUEST
What happened was that after, after the, the charges were dropped very suddenly, and up until that point she had been told all along that the case was going ahead, and then all of a sudden the rug was pulled out from under her.

Marion ScottGUEST
And within seconds of her receiving a phone call to tell her, "We're not going ahead after all," the media was filled with this story that David Goodwillie was not going to be prosecuted now.

And what happens in that court, in that case?
