Full report: Man claims police dismissed abuse claims

A man from Blyth claims that the years of physical and sexual abuse he suffered in North East children's homes have been swept under the carpet.

Terry Priestner says when he complained, the police told him "that's how things were those days".

Now - more than 30 years on - he is fighting for justice, with the support of his MP. But the police insist they have done all they can.

Gregg Easteal reports.
