520 1 $aBeaten from an early age by his abusive father, John struggled to fit in at school where his poverty marked him out. When, aged 13, his father brought a charge against him in order to remove him from the family home, John found himself in Juvenile Court from there he was sent to the notorious St. Vincents school, run by a group of Catholic Irish Brothers. Beatings and abuse were a part of daily life both from Johns fellow pupils and also from the Brothers, all of which was overseen by the sadistic headmaster, Brother De Montfort.
520 8 $aTormented physically and sexually by one boy in particular, and by the Brothers in general, John quickly learned to survive but at the cost of the loss of his childhood. Please Don't Make Me Go tells in heart-rending detail the day-to-day lives of John and the other boys the beatings, the weapons fashioned from toilet chains and stones, the loneliness but we also see the development of Johns love of reading, his growing friendship with Father Delaney and his best friend, Bernard, and his unstinting love for his mother whom he feared was suffering at the hands of his violent father.
