From Predatory Boys Homes to the Unforgiving Streets of Kings Cross

Many of Australia's systems failed Glen Fisher during his adolescence.

Coming from a broken home, Glen had to endure a horrifying stint while in custody of the Daruk Training Center for Boys in Sydney's Penrith.

Not being able to return home, Glen was rejected and abandoned to the streets of Kings Cross.

Over the past four decades, Glen has tirelessly fought to hold his abusers accountable and shed light on the pervasive issue of institutional abuse that plagued Australia.

Glen Fisher's book, Predators Paradise is available to be purchased now.
