The Mulberry Bush school is the home for children who emotionally troubled and traumatized children between the age of 5 to 12 years. The Mulberry school can offer sanctuary to a maximum of 40 children. These children have had a terrible start in life often with assault, sexual abuse or even witnessed a family member being murdered. Furthermore, often these children have been in several foster homes and sent back because their foster parents could not handle them. The Mullberry Bush school tries to give these children a home where they are safe and can grow emotionally and try to help them to be more integrated into mainstream society. These children have such extreme patterns of behaviour that this school is their last change for any sort of normal life.

Reaction: I think it is very important that their are facilities for these children. They have never had a safe and loving home and can not be blamed for their behaviour. Their first years have been so traumatic and they do not know how to live a 'normal' life. Their standards have been the ones thought by their parents who abused them and traumatised them. Therefore I think it is very important these children are raised in a safe environment where they learn how to cope with their past and how to live their lifes as normal as possible.
