But fuck that shit!
This woman oversaw some the most flagrant and brutal episodes of neglect, physical, psychological, sexual and emotional abuse committed on girls entrusted to the care at St Jude’s Industrial School in Trinidad and Tobago.
It is worth to note that 70% of the children at the facility were there because of incest or parental abandonment
What she is alleged to have done at that home, was exposed in a 1997 report compiled by a task force appointed to looking into conditions at children’s home.
Sister Dominic Xavier the abuser of children at the St Jude’s School for Girls in Belmont, an institution run by the Catholic Church’s Corpus Christi Carmelite, swas identified in the report of the 1997 Sabga Task Force as the person who allegedly committed the most “brutal episodes of neglect and physical, psychological and emotional abuse” on girls at St Jude’s Industrial School.
She abused the position entrusted on her by the Citizens of Trinidad and Tobago. The 1997 task force that was sent out to do an inspection St Judes stated The members of the Task Force were so disturbed by their findings that they sought the urgent interveption of then Archbishop Anthony Pantin in immediately having Sister Dominic removed from her position. Indicating that she posed a very real and present danger to the girls at the Home.
The task force then recommended: that very strong measures be taken, including legal action against her with the potential for incarceration, as well as the removal of authority to run St. Jude from the Carmelite Order, and instead vesting same with a qualified management team Several other recommendations focus on health and medical issues, bedding, furniture, food and nutrition. and placement and overcrowding.Nothing was done.
A woman that was lauded by the church. One has to truly ask themselves. What damage did this woman do to an entire sector of the Trinidad population.
Sources at the UWI who administered the Child Care and Counselling Program she took there indicated the following: (i) she took six years to complete a three year course; (ii) her completion certificate was given under duress, because in the opinion of her examiners she was undeserving of the award; and (iii) it was the expressed opinion of those who trained her that she bad very serious psychological and I emotional problems that macifested themselves throughout her program of study, that indicated her profound unsuitability to engage in the type of activities that she was and continues to be engaged in .
"With immediate effect Sister Dominic should cease to be in any way allowed to manage, operate, or seek to influence the management or operation of any aspect or facet of St.Jude. That she be debarred if possible from residence there, and that a restraining order be imposed on her, expressedly forbidding any contact between herself and the management of St. Jude."
"It is further the opinion of the Task Force that a full investigation be mounted to determin the degree and extent of the episodes of abuse and neglect uncovered abnd detailed in this document, and Sister Dominic's status of being a nun notwithstandmg, that any criminal proceedings that are called for be vigorously pursued, up to and including incarceration if so indicated. In short, the Task Force feels that the evidence of abuse is so profound and so extreme that the full weight of the Law needs to be brought to bear. The same goes for all of those matrons and supervisors similarly implicated."She retired from the home in 1999, then returned to Grenada where she was born. She died in 2020 at age 84.
